Holiday Mini Peppermint Tini Recipes

PEPPERMINTINI

Steps:

• Wet the rim of a chilled martini glass with water, and dip into the crushed candy cane. Pour the vodka, schnapps, and half-and-half into a cocktail shaker over ice. Cover, and shake until the outside of the shaker has frosted. Strain into the rimmed martini glass, and garnish with candy cane to serve.

MINI PEPPERMINT ROLLS

Steps:

• For the rolls: Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease an 8-inch square cake pan with cooking spray or butter.
• Mix the granulated sugar, melted butter, vanilla extract and peppermint extract in a bowl. Unroll the crescent dough sheets and coat each sheet in half of the butter mixture, spreading it to the edges of the sheets. Roll each sheet tightly, starting with the longer side, and place the seam side down. Cut each roll into 8 equal pieces, making a total of 16 pieces. Arrange the pieces in the prepared cake pan.
• Bake until golden and cooked through, 22 to 24 minutes. Let cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• For the glaze: Meanwhile, make the glaze by whisking together the powdered sugar, milk and peppermint extract, Add the melted butter and red food coloring, whisking until completely combined.
• Remove the cooled rolls from the pan and top each one with the glaze. Sprinkle over the crushed candy canes and serve.

HOLIDAY MINI PEPPERMINT-TINI

Steps:

• Pulse candy canes in a food processor until crumbly, set aside on small plate.
• Melt chocolate in a small flat bowl in the microwave. The bowl should be just large enough to dip the mini martini glasses. (I recommend microwaving in small amount of intervals, 10-15 seconds at a time until just melted.).
• Dip each glass in melted chocolate and then immediately dip in crushed peppermint; chill in the refrigerator to set until ready to serve.
• Using a cocktail shaker, first mix half the vodka and half the coconut liquor with ice and shake for 15 seconds, pour into chocolate peppermint rimmed glasses. This serves four mini cocktails.
• Repeat with remaining half of mixture and serve the remaining cocktails.
