Ingredients
Scale
Rim and Garnish
- 1 cup white chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies or candy canes
- Additional crushed peppermint for garnish
Shot Mixture
- 1 cup peppermint schnapps
- 1/2 cup vanilla vodka
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- Whipped cream for topping
Instructions
- Prepare the Rim: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl and melt in 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Dip the rims of shot glasses into the melted white chocolate, then immediately dip into the crushed peppermint candies. Set the glasses aside to allow the chocolate to harden fully.
- Mix the Shots: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add peppermint schnapps, vanilla vodka, and heavy cream. Shake vigorously until the mixture is well chilled and frothy.
- Serve: Pour the chilled mixture into the prepared shot glasses. Top each shot with a swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle with additional crushed peppermint candies for a festive garnish before serving.
Notes
- For a nonalcoholic version, replace the schnapps and vodka with peppermint coffee creamer and sweetened milk.
- Chill your shot glasses ahead of time to keep the shots extra cold and add a festive touch.
- Use high-quality vanilla vodka for the best flavor.
- Crushed peppermint candies can be made by placing candy canes in a sealed bag and crushing them gently with a rolling pin.
