Peppermint White Christmas Cocktails are simple, pretty and absolutely delicious! Champagne with just a splash of White Creme de Cacao and a candy cane garnish are all you need for the most festive bubbly Christmas drink.
Peppermint White Christmas Cocktails
Years ago, a group of my girlfriends all got together for a Christmas DIY and cocktail party. We sipped on champagne with candy cane stir sticks and everyone was hooked on the flavor combination. Today, I like to add a White Creme de Cacao because it adds another layer of white chocolate flavor and who doesn’t love white chocolate and peppermint especially this time of the year.
Ingredients In A Peppermint White Christmas Cocktail
I love a cocktail with a short and sweet list of ingredients. For this cocktail you will need…
- Chilled Champagne – Any champagne will do so chose your favorite! You can also use Prosecco which is a more affordable sparkling wine which is also delicious. I recommend finding a champagne that is dry and not overly sweet as you will be adding sweetness with the creme de cocoa and candy canes.
- White Creme de Cacao – Creme de Cacao is a chocolate flavored liqueur and White Creme de Cacoa is a white chocolate version.
- Candy Canes – For this cocktail I rimmed the glasses with crushed candy canes and also garnished them with a whole candy cane in the champagne. The more peppermint the better!
- Champagne Flutes – I absolutely love my Edge Champagne Flutes from Crate & Barrel. They are so elegant.
How to Rim A Cocktail Glass with Candy Cane
- In a ziplock bag, crush 1 whole candy cane with a rolling-pin or something sturdy until you are left with a semi fine powder.
- Dip the rims of your champagne flutes in a small dish of White Creme de Cocoa and then in the crushed candy cane.
- After the glass is rimmed you can fill with your cocktail!
