A festive peppermint infused gin cocktail recipe that is easy to make and ready to serve immediately. No need to wait days for the gin to infuse!

The perfect Christmas cocktail - peppermint martini recipe with candy cane infused gin

Infusing liquor with delicious things is always one of those things that I intend to do. Regretfully, it never seems to make it to the top of my ‘to do’ list. Inevitably, the party rolls around and I’m once again left without infused alcohol, wondering what to do for a cocktail recipe.

The peppermint infused gin in this recipe should really be peppermint “infused” gin (those are air quotes folks). The peppermint gin is actually made in a blender and is ready to serve immediately! That means this cocktail has all the deliciousness of an infused cocktail with none of the waiting.

It’s also the perfect holiday cocktail. It doesn’t get more festive than this pretty pink martini served with a crushed peppermint rim and garnished with a mini candy cane.The perfect Christmas cocktail - peppermint martini recipe with peppermint infused ginHoliday Drink Recipe - Peppermint Infused Gin Cocktail.
