This holiday cocktail is one of my favorites. You can also switch out the white creme de cacao for Godiva chocolate liqueur if you prefer the layered taste of peppermint bark.

I will certainly make this recipe again, but I thought the Creme de Menthe was a bit overpowering. Next time, I plan to use less of it and add more Schnapps, or perhaps experiment with chocolate liqueur instead.

I recently tried the Stoli brand vanilla-flavored vodka and was pleasantly surprised. I didn't realize there could be a drink that wouldn't be enjoyable! After seeing others rate it 4 and 5 stars, I'm definitely going to give it another shot. I'll follow the suggestion of adding some half and half next time to enhance the experience.

I decided to feature this recipe as the special cocktail at our New Year's Eve celebration, and it was a resounding success. By mistake, I bought green creme de menthe instead of white. Surprisingly, the green hue, combined with the red sugar rim and a candy cane garnish, created a stunning visual appeal. While these martinis pack quite a punch, they are perfect for leisurely sipping at gatherings. I am certain I will incorporate this recipe again in the future. Perhaps next time, I will experiment with adding chocolate liqueur for a different twist.

I followed another reviewer's suggestion and used Godiva chocolate liquor to make this drink. It was strong, but really delicious.

Great cocktail recipe! I followed it exactly as written and found it to be very tasty, although a bit too minty for my liking, so I'm giving it 4.5 stars. However, my husband absolutely loved it and thinks it's perfect, giving it 5 stars. It's a strong sipper with a nice kick, making it a fun and festive drink for the holidays. I will definitely be making it again in the future!
