Peppermint Truffle

First and foremost...Merry Yule!  Tonight is the longest night of the year.  From here on out our days grow longer through the Summer Solstice.  I love more hours of daylight!

Next...I did an event with Buckeye vodka back in October and came up with a bunch of seasonal fall and winter cocktails.  This was one of them, and with just a few days left until Christmas I figured now would be a great time to post this one.
