Bad Boy (or Girl) Dirty Snowball: Can be made with cream, Irish liqueur and peppermint schnapps. Pour ice into the glass. A fun glass makes the drink more fun. Add 2 parts liqueur and 1 part schnapps over the ice. Then add three parts cr?me over. It is quick and easy to make and top off with a fun straw to jazz it up.
Candy Cane Lane: It’s not a game but a cool blended drink! You will need one ounce creme de cocoa, the same of peppermint schnapps and half n’ half. Add half a cup of vanilla ice cream and quarter cup of ice and blend away. Take a tall glass or a parfait glass and add grenadine for the candy cane look and pour in the blended mixture. Add whipped cream to the top and a candy cane to make it delicious.
Cool Yule Martini: Take three ounces of vodka, a half ounce of dry vermouth and one ounce of peppermint white liqueur. Shake the ingredients together and pour into a chilled martini glass. Top with a garnish of candy cane and a peppermint leaf.
Old Fashioned Tom and Jerry: An oldie but goodie this is a batter that can be made ahead of time. Use 6 eggs and separate. Beat the yolks until they submit in a small bowl. In a larger bowl whip the whites. When they are really stiff add sugar (three quarters cup) to the whites slowly. Then add a scant of salt and pure vanilla extract (1 teaspoon). Then you slowly stir in powdered milk (one cup). Fold the yolks into the batter and mix together.
Store covered in your refrigerator until ready to use. To make the drink use the mix and add two teaspoons of the batter in a cup and add about three quarters hot water. Stir until batter is dissolved and then add one ounce of rum. Any kind is fine. You can add a little brandy too if you want. Sprinkle nutmeg on top and the drink is ready to go.
