Refreshing Peppermint Candy Cane Soda
Though it's synonymous with Christmas, the traditional red-and-white striped peppermint candy cane is kind of boring. The powerful blast of true peppermint flavor gets lost as you try to turn the candy cane tip into a sharp spear in your mouth before inevitably giving up and tossing it. Has anyone ever finished an entire candy cane? The problem with peppermint candy canes isn't the peppermint flavor, it's the candy cane itself holding it back.
Well, now you can skip the awkwardness of candy cane consumption and focus solely on the peppermint flavor itself when you pry off the cap and chug down one of these cool new (and preferably ice-cold) Peppermint Candy Cane Sodas. This crisp, refreshing peppermint soda is sweetened with pure cane sugar, giving it the taste of a festive, fizzy, drinkable candy cane, minus the red-and-white stripes. Each 12-ounce bottle is handcrafted in small batches, but is unfortunately made in the USA rather than at the North Pole. It's the perfect soda to enjoy at a holiday party or while watching classic Christmas movies, decking the halls, opening presents, sitting in your car waiting for the tow truck after skidding off the road during a snowstorm, waiting for Santa, or just after shoveling the driveway on a frigid winter morning... maybe not.
Hmm, a peppermint candy cane soda might also mix well with the holiday spirit, and by spirit, I mean booze. In an ice-filled glass, pour a generous amount of peppermint vodka and peppermint schnapps, top with this tasty peppermint candy cane soda, add a splash of grenadine for a red stripe, and then garnish with an actual peppermint candy cane, which makes a much better stirrer than a candy. 🎄
