Peppermint Bark Martini

December 12, 2014 by Judy 7 Comments

Welcome to Day 6 of my 12 Days of Christmas Cocktails. One of my very favorite treats at Christmas time is Peppermint Bark.  So of course I had to make a Peppermint Bark Martini as part of this series!

Peppermint Bark MartiniI tried several different variations of this martini to try to get it the way I liked it.  I was using Peppermint Schnapps and each time I felt like the peppermint was a bit too much. To me, peppermint bark is more about the white and dark chocolate with a hint of peppermint from the candy on top, not all peppermint with a hint of chocolate. So after several experiments of variations on the chocolate/peppermint theme I came up with the one I liked most.

I found rimming the glass with crushed peppermint candy was just the right amount of the peppermint flavor for me.  But if you’d like a stronger peppermint flavor add a teaspoon of peppermint schnapps (or even a drop or two of peppermint extract). Since peppermint bark is layered dark chocolate and white chocolate, I used Torani (affiliate link) dark chocolate sauce in the bottom of the glass.  Then I added a layer of a white chocolate flavored martini. With the peppermint rimmed glass, creamy, white chocolate booze layer and chocolate sauce I think this drink comes as close to peppermint bark in martini form as possible.  If you want, use a candy cane to give the drink a stir every now and then to incorporate a bit of the chocolate sauce on the bottom.

Doesn’t this Peppermint Bark Martini look really pretty? It’s sure to get a “Wow” from your party guests and it’s not just another pretty face, it tastes really, really good too!

    This is a gorgeous drink, and I’m sure it tastes as good as it looks. I can’t wait to see what you have in store for the next six days. 🙂

      I think I’m running out of ideas! But since we’re going to Cabo for the week of Christmas I’m thinking I might need to do something with tequila!

    This Peppermint Bark Martini looks like a very upscale and classy drink. All it needs is a fabulous designer dress and its very own runway.
