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
That looks great. And in my country we drink always Christmas punch, mulled wine and mead. The last ist the best. You could drink it hot or cold. Have a nice day.

Thanks for the recipe! Can't wait to try it :)
Smiles and all the best,

Haven't you forgotten the milk/cream in this recipe? I really love a good white russian too, but I'm not a big fan of peppermint unfortunately..

My husband & I just watched the Big Lebowski and he was saying how he wanted a white Russian. I'm going to try these at Christmas. Thanks for the idea!!
We always make Caribbean food for Christmas and drink Lime Squash. It's prefect with or without Rum. Your bar cart makeover has been making me crave some Pimm's though. I might have to get that too!

Q: Haven't you forgotten the milk/cream in this recipe?
A: That's what the "half and half" is. :D
