Peppermint Paddy

Holiday Treat

This drink sweeps in like a Christmas carol sung a little too loud—cool at first sip, then unapologetically bold. The Peppermint Paddy is crisp, strong, sweet, and just a touch sticky… exactly as promised by the name.

There’s a bracing winter chill of icy vodka up front, followed by a creamy cocoa softness that melts like snow on a warm coat collar. This is not a shy cocktail. It lingers. It laughs – with a hint of mint. It insists on one more story by the fire.

Perfect at Christmas, dangerous year-round. Think midnight mass meets after-party—polished shoes, loosened tie, candy cane in hand. Best enjoyed slowly, preferably near twinkling lights, good company, and the vague sense that tomorrow can sort itself out.

Consider this your holiday handshake—with a wink and a kick. 🎄🍸
