Christmas and candy canes go together like Thanksgiving and turkey. You can’t have one without the other.
But you know what makes Christmas and candy canes even better?
That’s right.
VODKA.
Doesn’t vodka make everything better?
So, in today’s creation we have combined vodka and candy canes to give you a candy cane vodka to help you survive this and every other Christmas season with the family.
You’re welcome.
How to make Candy Cane Vodka
Ingredients
Candy Canes
Vodka
Preparation
Take a handful of candy canes (about 8 to 12 ) and put them in a pint sized mason jar.
Fill the mason jar with vodka and put the lid on it.
Put the mason jar in the fridge.
Shake it every once in awhile when you open the fridge.
After 1 to 2 days the candy canes will have dissolved and you will be left with a pinkish colored liquid - aka Candy Cane Vodka.
Try this candy cane vodka in the White Chocolate Candy Cane Martini, the Chocolate Mint Martini, and the Cherry Candy Cane Cocktail.

And you wouldn’t be disappointed.
LOVE this!! So excited to learn new drink recipes!
Thanks Jessica. Hope you find some here that you enjoy.
Congrats on the new site ladies – great job.
Totally stealing this recipe for my Girls Night Holiday Party on Thursday night … you need a picture page for shots featuring your recommendations
We will create a photo album on our FB page for people to share pictures. Stay tuned later this week for a delicious martini recipe featuring this candy cane vodka.
I am so going to have to try this!! Sounds so good.
I also love that you pictured Stoli. It’s my favorite.
This vodka is really good and we have a martini to post this week using it.
I need your candy cane martini recipe asap. My in-laws are coming into town this weekend for an early Christmas and I need all the alcohol I can get.
Get your candy cane vodka ready, sis! xo CB
Now this makes me wish I could have a drink now!
We will drink for you for now.
OK, so this is just so many ways awesome that I think I’ll just go out and become even more of an alcoholic. And to think I’d just sworn of hard liquor this very evening…hmm…maybe I’ll do the opposite and just quit wine and beer instead.
At least allow hard liquor once a week.
This is GREAT! I love a good cocktail! I just had a few friends over and we did a “tasting”! 5 fruity drinks (I was going on a cruise) and 5 Christmas-y drinks (it was the season after all!). I’m always on the look out for yummy, liquid treats! I’m subscribing!
What a fun idea to have a cocktail tasting!
I don´t drink, but ladies, good job!
I love the design, the pictures are great and the social media buttons hilarious. My sister, who has this new found interest in cocktail mixing will love this!
Hope you pass this on to your sister and that she likes the cocktails we will be sharing.
Ladies, I put your new site in my reader and can’t wait to see what you come up with.
Stay tuned this week for a martini featuring the candy cane vodka.

OMG That sounds devine!
MMMMM.
The martini we will feature this week is so freaking good.
Congratulations, guys! I can NOT hold my liquor but the pictures are so lickable I will just be coming by to gawk. Can I get a contact buzz from these?
Pretty sure if you lick your screen when visiting you will get a contact buzz.
YUM.
Yay, ladies! I’m so glad you guys launched this AFTER I had the baby. Can’t wait to try them out!
We waited just for you.
Sounds yummy! I recently got hooked on the Cranberry Lime vodka coolers so I’d give this a try too.
Those sound delicious.
Sounds yummy, and easy to make. Can’t wait to hear the recipes!
The vodka is very easy to make and the martini we will be featuring this week is super easy as well.
I would like a peppermint mocha with this!!! YUMMY!!!
That would be delicious.
I’m all about this martini!!! It looks delicious! So glad you shared. Love this site.
How could someone not be all about martinis?
I love doing this with vodka. I made samplers as Christmas presents this year.
Samplers sound like fun for Christmas presents!
Mmmm, this sounds absolutely yummy. I will have to try this over the holidays:)
We are posting a martini recipe tomorrow to use with this vodka. Hope you check it out.
You and Carri are off to a very lucrative business. You need to bottle and sell the stuff! Congrats on the new website ladies! All the best, I know you will be hugely successful!
