Ingredients
- 20 peppermint disks
- 1 bottle unflavored vodka (750ml)
- 2 mason jars with lids
Instructions
- Prepare Peppermints: Unwrap your peppermint disks to ensure they can dissolve properly in the vodka.
- Divide Peppermints: Place 10 peppermint disks in each mason jar evenly.
- Add Vodka: Pour the unflavored vodka equally between the two mason jars over the peppermint disks.
- Shake and Store: Secure the lids tightly on each jar, give them a slight shake turning the jars upside down to mix, then store them in the fridge.
- Dissolve Peppermints: Leave the jars in the refrigerator for 5 days or until the peppermints have completely dissolved, creating a white layer at the bottom.
- Mix the Shots: Turn the jars upside down for about an hour to mix the white layer, then shake well to combine the contents.
