Peppermint White Christmas
Wouldn’t it be a dream to experience a white Christmas? Unfortunately not all of us are lucky enough to have the opportunity to wake up on Christmas morning to snow on the ground but the next best thing has got to be a “White Christmas Cocktail”, right?! This is a simple but effective cocktail that has the wow factor. Crush the candy canes to line the rim. Place the champagne in the flute and finish with a candy cane placed in there. The colour from the candy cane will bleed turning your cocktail a beautiful blush colour. This cocktail is also very Instagrammable so show it off on your feed!
