Ingredients
- 20 peppermint disks
- 1 bottle unflavored vodka (750 ml)
Instructions
- Prepare Peppermints: Unwrap your peppermint disks and divide them equally by placing 10 peppermint disks into each mason jar.
- Add Vodka: Evenly pour the unflavored vodka between the two mason jars, ensuring each jar has an equal amount.
- Seal and Shake: Secure the lids tightly on each jar, then give each jar a gentle shake by turning it upside down to start the infusion process.
- Refrigerate: Place the mason jars in the refrigerator for 5 days to allow the peppermint disks to fully dissolve and infuse their minty flavor into the vodka.
- Mix the Layers: After 5 days, you will notice a white layer settled at the bottom of the jars. Turn the jars upside down for about an hour, then shake them well to redistribute the mixture evenly.
- Serve: Pour the infused vodka into shot glasses and enjoy your festive Candy Cane Shots!
Notes
- Make sure to tightly seal the mason jars to avoid any spills or contamination during the infusion time.
- The infusion period is critical to allow the peppermint disks to completely dissolve, so do not rush this step.
- If you notice any sediment, simply shake well before serving.
- Store the infused vodka in the refrigerator for best taste and freshness.
- This recipe yields two jars of peppermint-infused vodka, perfect for sharing at holiday parties.
