Twisted Snowy Martini

With Christmas just 1 week away I wanted to showcase a simple cocktail that will really impress your friends and family whenever you are hosting over the holidays. I love all the festive parties this time of year and everyone always expects me to create something special so I have partnered up with Smirnoff No.21 to mix up simple cocktails with their limited edition Peppermint Twist bottle.

I created this Twisted Snowy Martini as a mash-up between a Peppermint Martini and a Cosmopolitan and it turned out great. The delicious fresh peppermint flavor of the limited edition Smirnoff really shines through, and with the addition of cranberry juice, it is such a wonderful concoction for festive celebrations. Of course, the two are a delicious combination. Still, it definitely needed something extra, so I added in some white chocolate syrup and orange liqueur to really give it an edge and the final touch of orange bitters took it over the top.
