I admit, I am not always the most creative cocktail curator on the planet. I always tend to stick to my tried and true favorites. Every once in a while, however, I come up with a cocktail that is really, really, really, really, REALLY GOOD! Enter this Peppermint Patty Chocolate Martini. It is DA-BOMB!
I have a weakness for peppermint hot chocolate, especially during the holidays and winter months. This recipe is a kicked up, boozed up take on my favorite classic hot chocolate. For this simple recipe, melted chocolate is combined with light cream, vanilla vodka, and peppermint schnapps to create a delicious adult drink.
