Whether you’re throwing a bunch of Christmas parties or drinking next to your tree alone, you are going to need a sweet and festive holiday cocktail. I recently hosted a Holiday themed dinner party, and as always I managed to throw an item with childish-twist onto the menu. We are all adults and we love to drown our love (or hatred) for the holidays in booze. It was important for me to make everything form the food to the drinks playful, and one of the simplest, but most delicious items were these Candy Cane Martinis. They are tasty adult beverages with a cute and playful theme, and just happen to be named after James’ favourite nickname for me. Plus, there are candy canes in it–duhh. So, if you’re looking to wow your guests, but want to keep it simple, try out this easy martini recipe; I know you will love it!
