Peppermint Vodka

November 2, 2015~ Cocktails, recipe

Jump to Recipe

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!

This living room has been so many things to us sin This living room has been so many things to us since we moved in (including the distinction of being the first space we made over, and over). It’s also been a space that evolved with us as our needs changed. And now, while we plan what the next one will look like, I wonder if it’ll have a marble fireplace... probably not.

My boo @tmoorehome has been sharing and uplifting My boo @tmoorehome has been sharing and uplifting people around her for years. It’s one of the many reasons we’re real life friends. Her design is clean, bold, and evolves with each house they make a home. If you know exactly who you are and what you’re about, she is one very worthwhile follow. Her meme game is pretty strong too.

We use it to make blanket forts, set obstacle courses, entertain Tina 🐓 , and just hang out on it. It’s kinda the perfect toddler toy.

I know you all love colour as much as I do, so whe I know you all love colour as much as I do, so when I asked @itscarlabethany if I could share a few frames of her home with you guys, I knew it would be a perfect fit. We’ve both got a few of the same pieces, and we both love bold textiles and wallpaper. She’s got her own spin on them, and the cutest sidekick in town - Maybeline (swipe to see). Do yourself a favour and go give her a follow!
