    Peppermint Vodka

    Call it Candy Cane Vodka or call it Peppermint Vodka, either way it’s a festive seasonal liquor.

    You can make your own homemade flavored vodka for the holiday season with just two ingredients. Pour into a pretty jar with a ribbon around it and you’ll have a delicious gift to give.

    So simple to make, just place candy canes in vodka and let them dissolve and flavor the alcohol. Yep, that’s it!

    Make a big batch of our peppermint infused vodka and pour into decorative jars. Add a pretty ribbon, a mini candy cane and a gift tag!

    I make commissions for purchases mde through links in this post

    I personally love using decorative mason jars and there are an assortment of jars and bottles online for you to choose from too.

    Giving a homemade foodie gift shows just how much you care because you took the time to make something special for someone.

    Our candy cane vodka is filled with holiday flavor and will be a welcome and festive addition on your bar cart.
