PEPPERMINT SCHNAPPS DRINKS: MARTINI & MORE!

Steps:

• Crush the peppermint candies and place them in an even layer on a plate. On another plate, add a small pool of grenadine, or simply wet the rim of the glass with water using your finger (grenadine is easiest and works best). Run the rim of a martini glass in the grenadine first, rotating the glass so the rim is evenly coated. Then roll the rim in the crushed candies until evenly coated.
• Place the peppermint schnapps, vodka, Creme de Cacao, and heavy cream in a cocktail shaker. Add a handful of ice and shake until cold. Strain the drink into the prepared martini glass.

Steps:

• For each drink, combine 1 ounce each vodka and coffee liqueur and 3/4 ounce peppermint schnapps in a short glass; fill with ice. Pour in 1 ounce cold heavy cream. Serve with a peppermint stick.

• Add the milk and cream to the bowl.
• Cut the vanilla bean in half, and then scrape the seeds into the milk and cream mixture.

• In a separate bowl add the granulated sugar and egg yolks.
• Whisk the eggs and sugar together until the mixture is smooth and pale yellow in color.

• Note: the ice-cream will be “soft-serve” at this stage.
• You can spoon the ice cream into a bowl, cover it and place it in the freezer until ready to serve.
