Peppermint White Russian

Description

The White Russian became a cult classic in the 1960s, combining vodka, coffee liqueur, and cream into a rich, dessert-like cocktail. The Peppermint White Russian gives this retro drink a seasonal makeover by adding peppermint schnapps, infusing the cocktail with a cool, minty freshness that perfectly complements the richness of cream and the deep coffee notes of Kahlúa.

Often garnished with crushed candy canes or a peppermint stick, this version has become a Christmas party favourite. It’s indulgent, eye-catching, and easy to prepare, making it a go-to holiday cocktail for those who want both sweetness and sophistication.
