I think most people treat themselves to a drink at Christmas. Whether it’s a cheeky Bucks fizz with breakfast or an unsettling yellow Snowball – it’s seems Christmas is the season for a tipple and I think this perfectly pink Candy Cane Vodka would make the ideal addition to your festive bar cart.
Did I ever tell you about the time Phill and Beth decided to make jelly bean vodka and set the kitchen on fire? I walked in to find two big dollops of jelly bean goop on the floor – balls of blue flame- and the two of them, shrieking like cartoon versions of themselves 😆

Personally I prefer simpler methods of flavouring vodka!! And if you’re going to indulge, you might aswell indulge in something a little bit special. Candy Cane vodka is a sweet, sharp and fabulously silly drink – the colour of pink sherbert, and it’s the key ingredient for my Mrs Christmas martini.
You will need:
500ml of good vodka (any but for some reason, cheaper vodka doesn’t infuse as well)
7 full size candy canes
a large glass jar
a glass bottle
a funnel
Method:
- Roughly break up the candy canes and place in the bottom of the jar
- Cover with 500 ml of vodka
- Stir well
- Seal and leave to infuse for an hour.
Stirring and leave to infuse again. Keep doing this until there are no solids left - Once the candy canes have dissolved, use a funnel to pour the vodka into the bottle
- Continue to shake the bottle occasionally and before serving
i think a nicely packaged bottle of this would make a lovely Christmas gift, even if the recipient is you. Don’t drink too much though – there’s nothing merry about a hangover!
Love Rachel ❤️
