TGI Friday's Candy Cane Beverage

A holiday-season favorite, I clipped this TGI Friday's drink recipe from the newspaper.

• Ready In: 5 mins
• Serves: 1

Ingredients

• 1  fluid ounce white Creme de Cacao
• 1  fluid ounce  peppermint schnapps
• 1  fluid ounce half-and-half
• 1⁄2 cup vanilla ice cream
• 1⁄4 cup  crushed  ice
•  grenadine
•  whipped cream
•  peppermint  candy cane

Directions

1. Combine liqueurs, half and half, ice cream, and crushed ice in a blender; blend until smooth.
2. Swirl grenadine syrup around the inside (moving from bottom to top) of a tall glass; quickly pour the drink into the glass (to freeze and hold the red swirl against the glass).
3. Serve topped with whipped cream and the candy cane which doubles as a drink stirrer.
4. A non-alcoholic version of this drink may be made using 1 cup vanilla ice cream, 1/2 cup milk, and 5-6 drops peppermint extract.
