Now comes the fun part: serving your creation! Grab a martini glass and rim it with crushed candy canes for that extra holiday flair. Simply dip the rim in a bit of chocolate syrup, then roll it in the crushed candy canes to create a sweet, crunchy border.
Next, strain your chilled mixture into the glass and consider adding a sprinkle of cocoa powder or a drizzle of chocolate syrup on top for visual appeal. You can even top it off with a peppermint stick or a fresh mint leaf for that festive touch. Your chocolate peppermint martini is not just a drink; it’s a celebration in a glass!
