This holiday season I’m participating in a DIY gift blog hop! Hooray! Every monday until December, myself and the Canadian Home Decor and DIY bloggers will be sharing a DIY gift for the holiday season. They’ll be small, hostess appropriate gifts that you can make easily.

Let’s be honest, you probably have a million and one holiday parties and events lined-up, so instead of buying your standard box of chocolates we thought we’d show you what you could make!

My gift idea this week is peppermint vodka in a jam jar. We gave these last year as a gift to all of our friends in time for the holidays. Think of the possibilities! Candy cane martinis, spiked peppermint hot chocolate, the list goes on!

Materials

  • Vodka – I bought a bottle of Absolute to make about 20 little jars
  • 6 Oz Large Hexagon Glass Jars – 12 pack
  • Peppermint Extract
  • Decorative ribbon
  • Mccormick Red Color, 1-Ounce (optional)

Instructions

Step 1:  Pour two ounces of vodka into a clean Bernadin jar. You can add more of less depending on how generous you feel as a gift giver. I usually make the allotted amount that I need to, and if there’s any leftover vodka after I’ll divy it up between the jars.

Step 2: Add once teaspoon of peppermint extract to the vodka. I find 1 tsp is strong enough for 2 ounces of vodka. If you add significantly more vodka make sure you increase the peppermint extract.

If you’re adding red food colouring this is the time to do it.

Step 3 : Seal with a bow!

If you got one of these last year or are getting one of these this year you are a lucky duck.

Hint! Someone please give me a delightfully alcoholic christmas gift.

    I remember making this years ago. But we sure made it a lot harder with having it sit for weeks to cure. This is brilliant!
