Candy Cane Infused Vodka Chocolate Martini
I love these drinks for a festive holiday party. They are so simple and beautiful with a great peppermint and chocolate flavor. The recipe calls for both crème de cacao and chocolate syrup. The chocolate can be adjusted according to your personal taste. I love chocolate! I cannot get enough so the more the chocolate, the merrier I am.
Candy Cane Infused Vodka
Pick out a liter of vodka. Higher quality vodkas will infuse better and make the overall martini taste smoother. I typically just go for a mid priced vodka like Grey Goose. For one liter of vodka, you will want 16 tiny candy canes. Unwrap each candy cane and put into vodka bottle. Put the vodka bottle to the side and let the candy cane flavor infuse for 4 hours or more. Shake well before using. Never use a plastic container for infusing vodka, you will also infuse the plastic taste. So, if you are transferring the vodka into another container to infuse, make sure it is glass, like a mason jar.

Hi did you use dark or white creme de cocoa?
I believe I used dark but either will work. The color of the cocktail will just differ slightly but it really should not affect flavor.
So much yum!

Can I substitute Baileys for the creme de cocoa?
Yea, it will have a slightly different flavor but should work.
Hi, a few minutes after I added all the candy canes, the vodka became pink and cloudy. Is this normal? Will it clear up?
It will look funky when the candy cane starts infusing with the vodka. The vodka wont be completely clear anymore because you are adding some color but just shake it after the candy cane is dissolved and it is ready to mix into cocktails.
