TGIF!  I am so glad it is finally Friday – it has been a loooooong week and I am ready for a little down time.  We had appetizer week at work and omg my coworkers do not disappoint when it comes to bringing in food.  We had everything from cheese balls, to sliders, to peanut butter dip, pinwheels, cranberry dips (yes, multiple, including mine 🙂 ) tamales, barbacoa tacos, and so.much.more.  Needless to say, I need to make sure to get in a nice long run this weekend and drink plenty of lemon water……

Anyway, I wanted to share something that was not on the appetizer list at work – my fave holiday drink.  If you follow my IG stories, you probably saw that T and I made these last weekend and they are delicious!  Peppermint Martinis!  These are super easy to make, and make you feel so festive and jolly while drinking.  We typically just stick to wine, but this was a nice change.

Peppermint Martini

Equal Shares
Vodka
Peppermint Schnapps
White Chocolate Liqueur

Pour in a shaker with ice – give it a little holiday shake, and voila!  Your drink is ready.

For the rim, T crushed up candy canes in a ziplock bag with a baking roller.  Then I dipped the rim of the martini glasses in water (you could use the liqueur, too) and then in the crushed peppermint that was poured onto a plate.

Festive. Jolly. Merry.

All the Christmas feels 🙂

Enjoy!  We have some fun things planned for the weekend that I’ll share with you later.  The countdown is on – get those presents and get them wrapped.  Don’t do like I used to do and show up at my parents’ house with all of my unwrapped presents on Christmas Eve and try to secretly wrap them before the celebrations started.

Cheers – MP
