Peppermint White Russian Recipe

In our group of friends everyone loves White Russians. We even served them at our wedding! Here's a fun Holiday spin on an old favorite. We're big fans of peppermint over here! Peppermint White Russian, serves one 

Fill a glass with ice and then combine- 2 parts peppermint schnapps, 2 part Bailey's (the coffee flavored kind), 1 part half and half. Garnish the rim with crushed candy canes (I used honey to make them stick) or add a peppermint stick to the drink! 

The recipe above is mildly minty. If you like a lot of mint flavor, try dipping your straw in peppermint extract and stirring it into the drink. Do you have a favorite Holiday cocktail (or mocktail) recipe? If so, please share! xo. Elsie

I know you have a Canon 60D, but what lens did you use to take these photos?

Oh my oh my! White russians are a weakness! I have a few stories that need to remain untold! But this is definitely the way to drink it right now! What a great idea with the peppermint!

We love White Russians around here too...have to try this version, yum!

I am a sucker for Hot Buttered Rums around the holidays. They're easily vegan-ified with Earth Balance :)

Oh Em Gee. I am so stoked that it's winter. Much as I loved all of your fall posts, I'm not a fan of chai or pumpkin. Bring on the peppermint! :D

Mulled wine, baby! I use red wine, a couple shots of bourbon or rye (brandy is also wonderful), mulling spices, sliced apples and oranges, a bit of sugar. Mull in the slow cooker until hot. Delicious all day long during our Christmas Eve party.

I'm not a peppermint fan but I am a Baileys fan, so I may or may not have to try this!
