Ingredients
- 20 peppermint disks
- 1 bottle unflavored vodka (750ml)
Instructions
- Prepare Peppermints: Unwrap your peppermint disks and place 10 into each mason jar, ensuring they are evenly divided.
- Add Vodka: Pour the unflavored vodka evenly between both mason jars, filling them so each jar contains half the bottle.
- Seal and Shake: Tightly secure the lids on each jar, then give them a gentle shake, flipping the jars upside down once to help mix the ingredients.
- Refrigerate: Place the jars in the fridge for 5 days or until the peppermint disks have completely dissolved into the vodka.
- Mix the Settled Layer: After dissolution, a white layer may settle at the bottom. Turn the jars upside down for about an hour and shake well to redistribute this layer.
- Serve: Pour the candy cane infused vodka into shot glasses and enjoy your festive candy cane shots!
