Steps:

• In a cocktail shaker, filled with ice add the gin, vermouth, schnapps, and a peppermint.
• Stir (or shake) for 30 seconds.

PEPPERMINT MARTINI

Steps:

• Crush the peppermint candies and place them in an even layer on a plate. On another plate, add a small pool of grenadine, or simply wet the rim of the glass with water using your finger (grenadine is easiest and works best). Run the rim of a martini glass in the grenadine first, rotating the glass so the rim is evenly coated. Then roll the rim in the crushed candies until evenly coated.
• Place the peppermint schnapps, vodka, Creme de Cacao, and heavy cream in a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice and shake until cold. Strain the drink into the prepared martini glass.

PEPPERMINT PATTY MARTINI

Steps:

• I prefer Absolute Vodka (actually I prefer Grey Goose or Level, but I can afford Absolute). 1 1/2 ounces equals 1 jigger.
• Combine all ingredients in shaker.
• Strain and serve in chilled martini glass (easy way to chill a martini glass is to let it sit a couple of minutes with ice water in it).
• You will not get closer to a peppermint patty flavor than this.
• Enjoy.

PEPPERMINT-MOCHA MARTINI

Steps:

• Combine crushed candies and cookies in a shallow dish. Moisten the rims of two cocktail glasses; turn them upside down and dip into mixture to coat.
• Pour vodka, coffee liqueur, milk, and espresso into a cocktail shaker. Fill with ice, then shake until frosty. Pour into glasses and serve.
