This chocolate peppermint stick cocktail recipe is fun and festive. Baileys, Creme de Cacao, Peppermint Schnapps, and crushed candy canes make one awesome holiday drink.
This is another recipe from my husband, the bartender from long ago. He says it's a pretty standard Christmas cocktail, but he put his own twist on it using Bailey's instead of just using cream.
This is a pretty simple drink to make.
You just add some ice, Creme de Cacao, Baileys, and Peppermint Schnapps to a cocktail shaker and shake shake shake.
If you want a festive twist, rim a glass with some crushed candy canes or peppermint candies. It's really that easy.
If you love creamy cocktails with Baileys, you may also like my Christmas cookie cocktail (it has Oreos... yum).
This is the type of drink that goes down easy and everyone will want more. Just don't overdo it. 😉
I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season!

Is there something I can use instead of baileys? I’m out and don’t want to go out! Haaa
Natasha says
Kahlua maybe? I'll be honest... my husband helped me with this drink and I'm not the best mixologist lol. I mean anything that's a creamy liqueur is probably on the right track haha.
Mandy says
Would kahlua be an okay replacement for the creme de cacao? I happen to have the rest on hand!
Natasha says
I think that should be good! 🙂
Eddie says

I made these for a girls night. They were so good. I had a hard time rimming the glass so I used mini candy canes for a garnish.
Natasha says
Wonderful! That's a great idea! 🙂
Julia says
Try melting some chocolate chips....dip the rims in the chocolate and then the crushed candy canes!!! Yum
