    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.

    Christmas cocktail recipe with Baileys, Creme de Cacao, Peppermint Schnapps, and a crushed candy cane rim in a martini glass with bottles in the background

    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.

    This drink is delicious anytime, but if you want a festive twist for Christmas, rim your glasses with crushed candy canes (or peppermint candies). Or garnish the drink with a mini candy cane.

    If you love creamy cocktails with Baileys, you may also like my Christmas cookie cocktail (it has Oreos... yum).

    I hope you're having a wonderful holiday season!

    Ingredients
     

    • 1 candy cane crushed (or use peppermint candies)
    • 1.5 ounces Creme de Cacao
    • 1.5 ounces Baileys
    • 1.5 ounces Peppermint Schnapps

    Instructions
     

    • For the glass rim: place the candy cane or peppermint candies in a plastic bag and crush them into small pieces with a rolling pin. Alternatively, if you don't want to do the rim, simply garnish the glass with a mini candy cane or skip this step altogether.
    • Rim the glass with the crushed candy cane pieces (I just used water and the candy stuck to it easily).
    • Add some ice into a cocktail shaker.
    • Add the 3 liqueurs into the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Strain into the glass. Enjoy immediately.

        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.

      Would kahlua be an okay replacement for the creme de cacao? I happen to have the rest on hand!

      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.
