    we just tried this and it’s SO STRONG and not very good. My boyfriend actually spit it out. I’m sorry to write it but I think people should know! at least it looked nice.

      Hi Julianna, don’t let the pretty candy canes fool you, this is a very strong drink. Hence no simple syrup or agave nectar to sweeten it up. If you want to make it less potent try adding less vodka and some simple syrup made with some fresh mint leaves. Please give it another try and let me know how it works out. I may redo the recipe for this Christmas season and repost it with the lighter version for the sweeter palate. Thanks for visiting and leaving us your honest comments. Salud!
