Peppermint lovers can add a hint of mint to their libations.

The mint flavor works with many cocktails, soft drinks, tea, coffee and hot chocolate.

We hang them on a Vodka Martini, Chocolate Martini, Espresso Martini, Cosmopolitan, Irish Coffee, Mojito and other favorites.

Or, you can crack the candy canes into chips (in a plastic bag, using a rolling pin or hammer) and sprinkle the garnish atop the Chocolate and Coffee Martinis or Irish Coffee.

Deck the drinks!
