Peppermint Candy Cane Cooler

My absolute favorite thing about Christmas time even though I don’t celebrate it is the never ending display of peppermint flavored food items at the store. Particularly at Trader Joe’s. There is just something about it that makes me smile. It makes me want to put a little dance in my step. I love it so much that I even buy Peppermint extract so I can put it in my hot chocolate throughout the year.

So I am very excited to share with you a Peppermint cocktail recipe from NoMa Social in New York.
