Description

❤️🤍 Candy Cane Kiss Shots 🤍❤️
Cool, creamy, and irresistibly festive — these Candy Cane Kiss Shots blend refreshing peppermint with smooth vanilla in a shimmering, icy glow. With a crushed candy cane rim and a kiss of winter magic, they’re perfect for holiday parties, snowy nights, or anytime you want to feel the chill of Christmas in a shot glass!


🧪 Ingredients (Makes 6–8 shots)

🔹 Shot Base – Peppermint Vanilla Glow:

  • 2 oz Peppermint Schnapps (or peppermint vodka)

  • 1 oz Vanilla Vodka

  • 1 oz White Crème de Cacao (for creamy depth and sweetness)

  • 1 tbsp Heavy Cream or Half-and-Half (optional, for smoothness)

  • 1/4 tsp Edible White or Silver Shimmer Dust

  • Optional: Splash of tonic water (for glow under blacklight)

🔹 Rim & Garnish:

  • Crushed Candy Canes (for rim)

  • Light corn syrup or white chocolate syrup (to stick the rim)

  • Mini candy cane or white chocolate kiss (for garnish)


❄️ Instructions

  1. Candy Cane Rim:
    Lightly dip the rims of your shot glasses in corn syrup or melted white chocolate, then into crushed candy canes for a sparkly, minty edge. Chill in the freezer for 5 minutes to set.

  2. Mix the Magic:
    In a shaker with ice, combine peppermint schnapps, vanilla vodka, crème de cacao, and cream. Add shimmer dust and shake well until frosty.

  3. Pour & Garnish:
    Strain into prepared shot glasses. Garnish with a mini candy cane hanging on the rim or a white chocolate kiss perched on top.


🎄 Tips & Variations

  • Non-alcoholic version: Use peppermint syrup, vanilla milk, and cream soda with shimmer and candy cane rim.

  • Extra Chill: Freeze the glasses in advance and shake the mix with crushed ice for a super icy pour.

  • Glow-Up: Tonic water and shimmer powder will give it a frosty sparkle under blacklight.
