No flavor ‘says’ Christmas quite like peppermint. The candy cane is the perfect celebration of this fabulous flavor. Chad can’t seem to get enough candy cane. We have been enjoying candy canes in ice cream, cookies, cakes, hot cocoa… Well you had to know a candy cane cocktail was just around the corner.

It look so delicious.Love it very much.Perfect for the holidays!!!
Does the homemade infused vodka taste very different from the Smirnoff Peppermint Twist vodka? I have the whipped vodka and candy canes, but want to know if it changes the flavor profile of the drink.
This is such a classy martini! I never thought I could make something this good at home but I DID IT!
When making the candy cane vodka, how much vodka and how many candy canes?
Hi Shirley,
In a medium size resealable glass jar combine candy canes and vodka. Allow to sit for about 4 hours until candy canes are most or completely dissolved. Strain infusion through a fine mesh strainer to remove any lingering candy cane pieces.

How many candy canes would be needed to infuse 8 ounces of vodka. The recipe does not give quantities. It just says place vodka and candy in a medium size jar.
I was confused too. It’s the 8 ounces of whipped cream vodka with the 10 full size candy canes broken into bite size pieces that are used to make the infused vodka ahead of time.
Then, the martini is made using the now-infused vodka, amaretto and creamer in equal parts (depending on the size batch you are making).
Hope that helps clarify for anyone else who comes along.
What is whipped cream Vodka?
