MRS CLAUS MARTINI
A few notes before the recipe. You can purchase the crushed candy canes in the Holiday section of your local market. I put them in the food processor to grind them more finely for rimming the martini glass. Place the crushed candy canes in a shallow bowl.Using a wedge of lime rub the rim of the glass and dip in the crushed candy canes.
For presentation try adding some fresh cranberries to an ice cube tray and fill with water. This will add a pop of color to your cocktail.
In my recipe I used Califia Holiday Nog made with almond milk. I like it better then traditional egg nog, its lighter and less in calories and fat. You may prefer traditional. Its your choice
