Smooth Godiva chocolate liqueur, Absolut vodka, and 101 Thunder peppermint schnapps blend together beautifully in this Peppermint Kiss Cocktail. In fact, it may actually be a little bit too smooth and delicious. This is one of those drinks that goes down easy and then kicks your butt when you least expect it…..
I made this cocktail last January for a contributor post for White Lights on Wednesday…as a Valentine’s cocktail…..
but I could not find mint truffle Hershey’s Kisses. I had to substitute caramel filled, which worked just fine, but wasn’t perfect. Guess what I found last week at Target? I just had to remake this cocktail with a more Christmasy theme and take new photos. I know, I know, the life of a blogger can be difficult sometimes! 😉
How to make a Peppermint Kiss Cocktail:
Start by sticking a toothpick {or appetizer pick} into the bottom of each Kiss…..
Fill each glass about half full with ice cubes and set aside…..
Fill cocktail shaker with ice cubes. Pour vodka, chocolate liqueur, and peppermint schnapps into cocktail shaker…..
Place the lid on the shaker and shake well to combine. Divide between 2 small glasses and serve garnished with the Kiss toothpicks…..
Notes:
The toothpick keeps the Kisses from sinking to the bottom.
As always, use good quality spirits {it really does make a difference}. Drink responsibly, and never ever try to do anything important after consuming one of these cocktails, lol I took these photos while waiting for the Thanksgiving turkey to cook. Lets just say that it is a miracle that I remembered to prepare the rest of the meal, these babies are potent! 😉

Lisa, when do I get an invite to have this drink with you??? Love it! Cheers!
I want your cocktail shaker.
I thought to myself, I need to make a list of items to buy to make this drink…but the only things I didn’t have were the mint truffle kisses. And your cocktail shaker.
Treasure Box Tuesday, blah, blah blah, now where do I get the cocktail shaker? 😀
I’m sorry Joy, I bought that shaker on ebay a few years ago. It is vintage and cost a small fortune. Now I will make sure to lock my doors so it doesn’t walk away in the middle of the night. 😉 If I come across another one, I will let you know. 🙂
It’s lovely. Since you are the cocktail queen, I’m glad you have it. 🙂
