Ingredients
This cocktail is all about balance and flavor. Here's what you'll need:

Instructions
Here's how I make this delightful drink:
- Prep the Glass: Rim your martini glass with crushed candy canes. Dip the rim in water first to make the candy stick.

- Shake It: Shake vigorously for about 20 seconds. This ensures the mix is chilled and well-blended.
- Serve: Strain the mixture into your prepared glass. Top with a dollop of whipped cream if you like.
