How to rim a glass with peppermint candy

Put peppermint candy canes into a Ziploc bag and crush them using a rolling pin. You will need at least one candy cane per glass. Pour the crushed candy canes into a shallow dish. Dip the rim of the glass into the dish and the crushed candy will stick to it.

You can also use a food-safe brush or spatula to spread melted chocolate around the rim before dipping it in the crushed candy canes.

Pour your peppermint martini into the glass and add a peppermint candy cane garnish to your cocktail.

I hope you all have a very safe and festive holiday season. What Christmas cocktails will you be enjoying with friends and family this year?
