In our group of friends everyone loves White Russians. We even served them at our wedding! Here's a fun Holiday spin on an old favorite. We're big fans of peppermint over here! Peppermint White Russian, serves one
Fill a glass with ice and then combine- 2 parts peppermint schnapps, 2 part Bailey's (the coffee flavored kind), 1 part half and half. Garnish the rim with crushed candy canes (I used honey to make them stick) or add a peppermint stick to the drink!
The recipe above is mildly minty. If you like a lot of mint flavor, try dipping your straw in peppermint extract and stirring it into the drink. Do you have a favorite Holiday cocktail (or mocktail) recipe? If so, please share! xo. Elsie

I know you have a Canon 60D, but what lens did you use to take these photos?
oh my god. Yes! My best friends and I will be drinking this this weekend.
Oh my oh my! White russians are a weakness! I have a few stories that need to remain untold! But this is definitely the way to drink it right now! What a great idea with the peppermint!
We love White Russians around here too…have to try this version, yum!
I am a sucker for Hot Buttered Rums around the holidays. They’re easily vegan-ified with Earth Balance 🙂
YEAH!!! I’m totally heading to the liquor store before it closes!! I love White Russians!! =) Peppermint ones sounds delicious!!! =)

Oh Em Gee. I am so stoked that it’s winter. Much as I loved all of your fall posts, I’m not a fan of chai or pumpkin. Bring on the peppermint! 😀
This sounds delicious! Will definitely be making it soon.
These look great and super cute! Great idea for my Holiday Housewarming!
looks delish! i’ll have to try it!
great recipe.. will try 🙂http://lovesimplegreen.blogspot.com/
Mulled wine, baby! I use red wine, a couple shots of bourbon or rye (brandy is also wonderful), mulling spices, sliced apples and oranges, a bit of sugar. Mull in the slow cooker until hot. Delicious all day long during our Christmas Eve party.
I so have to try these this holiday season!!!
Awesome cocktail! Feeling totally Xmas inspired now!

I’m not a peppermint fan but I am a Baileys fan, so I may or may not have to try this!

mmmm this is so perfect.
That looks great. And in my country we drink always Christmas punch, mulled wine and mead. The last ist the best. You could drink it hot or cold. Have a nice day.

Haven’t you forgotten the milk/cream in this recipe? I really love a good white russian too, but I’m not a big fan of peppermint unfortunately..
Mmmm this looks so good! Baileys is an all time fave of mine, can’t wait to give this a go!

My husband & I just watched the Big Lebowski and he was saying how he wanted a white Russian. I’m going to try these at Christmas. Thanks for the idea!!
We always make Caribbean food for Christmas and drink Lime Squash. It’s prefect with or without Rum. Your bar cart makeover has been making me crave some Pimm’s though. I might have to get that too!
Looks lovely and Christmassy! xo

Looks devine! Love the sprinkles for a Christmas touch! The other day I tried a White Russian with Tia Maria, Vodka, Milk and shed loads of double cream…..although it was incredibly naughty it was heavenly! May have to try your recipe next, Peppermint flavour sounds too good to miss! TPS xx
This looks so delicious!

This looks amazing, will definitely have to try this. It might become my new favorite holiday drink! Although my mom has a pretty great concoction she starts making months before the holidays, cherry bounce its delicious!
I love white Russians, and this recipe looks yummy! Just missing the “Russian” part – where’s the vodka?!
Yum! I have been looking for a recipe to use my homemade irish cream in this year… found!
Before this post I didn`t even know that peppermint schnaps existed,but I have to say this looks sooo delicious I might wanna try it 🙂
xoxo
Yummy!! Definitely on my list to make 🙂
I’ve had really good self-control with the Bailey’s this season, but this might be my breaking point! I’ll have to get some now!
I’m partial to this Spiced Cranberry Cocktail (probably because I invented it!) 🙂 http://sarahsjoys.com/2011/11/21/spiced-cranberry-cocktail/ But we will be trying yours tonight! I picked up the stuff for it a couple of days ago. Merry Christmas!!
It really looks tasty. I love to prepare it this holiday.
