The holidays are finally here! Before you go running out to buy eggnog and drown yourself in the hundreds of calories it has to offer, try this amazing recipe for my special holiday Candy Cane Martini! The best part is, this drink is only about 155 calories (compared to the 440 calories a cup of eggnog with rum has)! Your friends will probably be jealous of how great you look in your new jeans and ask how you look so good even around the holidays with all of the food and drinks being offered. Well, here is your solution. If you feel like having a cocktail with your friends to celebrate Christmas, drop the beer and eggnog and stir up of these!
Here is what you will need:
1 small, crushed up candy cane
1 1/2 ounces vanilla vodka
1/2 ounce peppermint schnapps
1 ounce diet tonic water (or regular club soda)
First, wet the rim of the glass with water or vodka and quickly dip the rim into the crushed candy cane. Next, add some ice cubes to a cocktail shaker and add the vanilla vodka and peppermint schnapps. Shake well. Poor the mix into a martini glass and top with a splash of club soda or tonic. Stir and enjoy! For a little more fun, I sometimes drop a peppermint candy into the bottom of the martini glass.
Here are the ingredients that I used but I have heard it still tastes great no matter what brand!
Enjoy your drink and cheers to a skinny holiday season!
