Peppermint is one of the biggest seasonal flavors this time of year. From peppermint mochas to delicious peppermint dessert concoctions, peppermint is everywhere. Candy Cane Vodka infuses that peppermint flavor in alcohol form. This infusion is a fun way to celebrate the holidays with friends or to even gift.

Make The Amount You Need
1 cup = 8 ounces vodka plus 4 mini candy canes
1 pint = 16 ounces vodka plus 8 candy canes
1 liter = 32 ounces vodka plus 16 mini candy canes
1/2 gallon (handle) = 59 ounces vodka plus 28 mini candy canes
Vodka
Higher quality vodkas will infuse better and make the overall drink taste smoother. I typically just go for a mid priced vodka like Grey Goose. Unwrap each candy cane and put into vodka bottle. Put the vodka bottle to the side and let the candy cane flavor infuse for at least 4 hours. Shake well before using. Never use a plastic container for infusing vodka, you will also infuse the plastic taste. Nobody wants a plastic flavored anything. So, if you are transferring the vodka into another container to infuse, make sure it is glass, like a mason jar.
