All you need are 12 full-size candy canes to make a 750 mL bottle of the flavored vodka. And, you need to have a food processor on hand.
Put all 12 candy canes into the food processor until they turn to dust.
Then, buy any non-flavored vodka that you'd like to use for this bottle. Anything will do, it's all your own preference!
In a jar or bottle, pour the vodka over the candy cane dust.
Then, put a lid or cap on the bottle and shake it up. Next, let it sit for 30 minutes, shaking occasionally until the vodka turns a pretty red and the powder is dissolved.
After you let it sit, use a strainer to get out all of the dust.
To give a gift to someone, you may want to buy some nice bottles to put the vodka in. You'll need to strain the vodka to put it into the bottles to get rid of the remaining candy cane dust.
You can also put a pretty label on it to make it custom and cute!
Printing out labels from online can be free and easy to do. You can even customize them with your friend's and family name to make it extra sweet.
Or, you can make the vodka for yourself and have a boozy Christmas time at home.
