Vodka: Include your favorite vodka here, you’ll need 2 ounces. Peppermint coffee liqueur: Oo baby! This is where things get festive! You’ll need 1 ounce of peppermint coffee liqueur to up the coffee flavor and bring a little minty twist to this drink. Espresso: You’ll need 1 ounce of freshly brewed, then chilled espresso to get a bold coffee flavor and create the foam on top. If you don’t have an espresso machine, you can also use cold brew concentrate or strong coffee made in your drip coffee machine or french press. Simple syrup: This adds some sweetness to the drink to cut some of the zip from the alcohol and espresso. Simple syrup is made up of 2 parts water and 1 part sugar. Bring the mixture to a boil, cover, and let it simmer for 10 minutes. Do let it cool before adding it to your drinks. Alternatively, you can purchase simple syrup to cut down on time. Candy canes: The candy canes are optional, however, when crushed and used as a rimmer for your glass it really does make this drink feel extra special!
