Ingredients
- 20 peppermint disks
- 1 bottle unflavored vodka (750ml)
Instructions
- Prepare Peppermints: Unwrap all 20 peppermint disks and divide them evenly, placing 10 peppermint disks into each mason jar.
- Add Vodka: Pour the entire 750ml bottle of unflavored vodka evenly between the two mason jars, making sure each jar has an equal amount of vodka to peppermint disks.
- Shake Jars: Seal the jars tightly with their lids, give each a slight shake, then turn them upside down to mix thoroughly.
- Refrigerate: Place the jars in the refrigerator and let them sit for 5 days or until the peppermint disks have completely dissolved.
- Mix Layers: After 5 days, a white layer may form at the bottom of the jars. Turn the jars upside down for about an hour to redistribute this layer, then shake the jars well to combine everything.
- Serve: Pour the peppermint-infused vodka into shot glasses and enjoy your Candy Cane Shots responsibly!
Notes
- Use unflavored vodka to ensure the peppermint flavor stands out.
- Allowing the peppermint disks to dissolve fully in the fridge helps create a smooth, sweet flavor.
- Shaking the jars periodically after inversion helps mix the dissolved candies evenly.
- Store shots in the refrigerator for best flavor and chill before serving.
- This recipe yields approximately 20 servings based on standard shot sizes.
