Spirit Forward

The Casablanca elves were naturally busy during the holiday season, and, as luck would have it, managed to sip a little too much “eggnog” as the wintry late night dragged on. The shenanigans may or may not have (the head elf isn’t telling) involved dropping a candy cane into the still. In any case, we’re pretty sure the ensuing cocktail deserves no coal.

Single Red Rose

Stir spirits on ice until very cold. Strain into a chilled coupe. Using a bar spoon, add grenadine slowly to allow it to sink to the bottom of the coupe. Garnish with a small candy cane. The elves will be proud.

Editor's Note

A liquid candy cane in a coupe. Vanilla rum and peppermint schnapps combine for an intensely sweet, mint-forward holiday cocktail with a festive grenadine sink.

This sounds like a fun and festive holiday treat! Do you have a favorite brand of peppermint schnapps you recommend for this, or does any standard bottle work well?
