The 3 Festive Beverages:

invert the flutes. Dividing evenly, pour 2 oz. of peppermint vodka and 2 oz.

each glass with a candy cane.
2 more tips:
Simple syrup- is a 1:1 ratio of sugar dissolved in water.

just set a candy cane (or two) into a glass of vodka and leave it alone
for a few hours.

If the cold nights of December are getting to you, warm up with the ginger
that’s in this drink.
