Peppermint Patty Martini

Submitted by Scott Rhoades

"Tastes just like a peppermint patty. Usually I tinker around with martini ingredients for a while to get the flavor I am after, but I nailed this one on the first try. One of my wife's favorites."

 

• Ready In: 1min
• Ingredients: 5
• Serves: 1

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 ounces vodka
• 1 1⁄2 ounces creme de menthe
• 2 1⁄4 ounces Creme de Cacao
• 3⁄4 ounce Kahlua
• ice

directions

1. I prefer Absolute Vodka (actually I prefer Grey Goose or Level, but I can afford Absolute). 1 1/2 ounces equals 1 jigger.
2. Combine all ingredients in shaker.
3. Strain and serve in chilled martini glass (easy way to chill a martini glass is to let it sit a couple of minutes with ice water in it).
4. You will not get closer to a peppermint patty flavor than this.
5. Enjoy.

i'm not sure why kahlua, a coffee liquor, is being used in a peppermint patty martini. i think the coffee and mint would clash. i could see using godiva i guess, but i always just made them with vodka, the creme de menthe and creme de cacao.

Very yummy drink. I felt like 2 1/4 ounces of creme de cacao would be too much. So I tried with only 1 ounce. It was perfect. Enough sweet. Thanks Scott :) Made for Let's Party Event
