SLICK & SIP: LORAC'S Holiday Candy Cane Cosmso Mocktails

For those of you who are legally old enough to responsibly enjoy an adult beverage...

Since the holiday party season officially kicks off this weekend, I have decided to kick off a mini series of recipes inspired by LORAC's Croc Mocktail Collection. The first Mocktail to try: Candy Cane Cosmo!

In the gloss: a golden cranberry shade (pictured far right) spiked with shimmer and perky peppermint flavoring.

In the glass:

1-1/2 ounces of vodka
1/2 ounce of peppermint schnapps
1 ounce cranberry juice
1 mini candy cane crushed
1 mini candy cane for garnish
Dip the moistened rim of martini glass into the crushed candy cane to make a 'rimmer. Mix the vodka, schnapps, and cranberry juice together with ice in a shaker, then strain it into the prepared martini glass.

Serve on a mirrored coaster and enjoy with glossed-up lips...

More Mocktail recipes to come! Remember: SLICK liberally and SIP responsibly!
