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.



Peppermint Truffle (aka Buckeye Truffle)
Glass: Large Cocktail
Method: Shake and Strain
Garnish: Crushed peppermint rim

Ingredients:
1 oz Buckeye vodka
.75 oz Chambord
.5 oz Dark Creme de Cocoa
.25 oz Monin Frosted Mint syrup
.25 oz Simple syrup
2 oz Heavy cream 

Build ingredients and shake with ice.  Strain into a large cocktail glass that's been rimmed with chocolate syrup and crushed peppermint candies.
