You could even add some Peppermint schnapps to the cocktail along with the plain vodka to add that minty flavor too. If you can’t find peppermint vodka, just use a regular vodka (any brand) and add a dash of peppermint extract to add that signature minty flavor. Vodka – I used Peppermint Vodka, but any peppermint-flavored liqueur will work.Some add baileys (especially Baileys espresso blend) too but that will add some creaminess to it It’s the perfect addition to the peppermint Kahlua martini. Kahlua – this is a really tasty coffee and rum liqueur that tastes great in this cocktail.I have not tried this with decaf coffee but it will definitely work if you want the cocktail without the caffeine kick. You can use instant espresso but it won’t give you the same level of flavor - so its not ideal. Strongly brewed coffee will work or you can even use cold brew concentrate. Espresso/Coffee – a shot of espresso is all you need or a double shot if you want to make a stronger cocktail recipe - it’s ideal to use strong espresso coffee preferably brewed in a machine with plenty of froth! Don’t have an espresso maker or espresso machine - no problem.Ingredients for this Peppermint Espresso Martini The perfect cocktail for all you coffee lovers out there! It’s served in a martini glass and a real treat after dinner. Instead it’s made with vodka and it’s always shaken for that frothy top. This kind martini is technically not a true martini or French style martini which is typically made with gin or vermouth. It is a peppermint take on a classic espresso martini. This peppermint espresso martini is so simple to make with just a few ingredients, and is the perfect any time of year cocktail and great as an after dinner cocktail (great with dessert) and I would even say the perfect brunch cocktail too - brunch, coffee and something boozy is always a good idea! Its minty (refreshing), sweet, boozy and rich from the espresso with a creamy, foamy top. I love chocolate and peppermint together and I love coffee as much as I love chocolate so I knew I would love this peppermint coffee martini and I have a feeling you guys will too. And it even gives you fresh breath! All that from a fun cocktail.This lovely cocktail is a minty take on an Espresso martini cocktail which is typically made with espresso, vodka and Kahlua - for this tasty minty version, I love to use peppermint vodka but peppermint schnapps or a dash of peppermint extract works well here too. It’s also a fun way to use up your leftover candy canes. I love the crushed candy cane rim on the glasses, which actually tastes good when you sip the drinks, too. This cocktail recipe makes one batch, but you can easily make a pitcher of it for a party to save time. I used the latter in this recipe, and it was yummy indeed! This cocktail is a much lighter version than traditional heavy cream drinks, and everyone on your party list can partake-even if they don’t consume dairy. You can find more brands of dairy-free cream liqueurs on the market now, including Baileys Almande, Almondaire, and Bom Bom. Plus, this cocktail is the answer to a luscious, creamy drink sans the dairy. I asked myself, what should I call this drink? And the answer was, a Snowflake! Because it’s cool and fresh, and just melts on your tongue like a fresh snowflake falling from the sky. The coconut milk beverage cuts the alcohol, and the cool mint flavor of the schnapps makes it so refreshing. I tried this recipe out on my friends and family over the holidays and it got the thumbs up. This creation-my Vegan Snowflake Cocktail-is based on creamy non-dairy vanilla liqueur, coconut milk beverage, vodka, and peppermint schnapps. I am always on the lookout for festive wintertime drinks for the holidays, a cozy night, a fun party, or an après-ski time in front of the fireplace.
