Ingredients:
- 8 oz of your favorite plant-based milk (Oat is my personal favorite for this recipe)
- Peppermint extract
- Vanilla extract
- Date syrup
Instructions:
-
Start with a base of 8 oz of your preferred plant-based milk. I adore the creaminess of this oat milk, but feel free to use your favorite.
-
Add peppermint and vanilla extracts to the milk. The beauty of this recipe lies in its flexibility, so add the extracts to your liking. Whether you prefer a hint of mint or an extra burst, make it your own. Vanilla not only complements the minty flavor but also adds a warm and aromatic element to the drink.
-
Swap out processed sugar for a healthier alternative – date syrup. Adjust the amount based on your sweetness preferences. This natural sweetener not only adds sweetness but also brings a rich, caramel-like flavor to the martini.
-
Shake or stir the ingredients well to ensure everything blends harmoniously. The goal is to create a luscious and well-balanced concoction that embodies the essence of a peppermint sugar cookie.
-
Pour your masterpiece into a martini glass or festive holiday-themed glassware. Garnish with a sprig of mint or a dusting of cocoa powder for an extra touch of elegance.
- Now, sit back, relax, and relish in the joy of a guilt-free, plant-based, and utterly delicious holiday drink.
This Healthier Peppermint Sugar Cookie Martini is a testament to the fact that you can enjoy the holiday season without compromising on your health goals. So, raise your glass to festive celebrations, good company, and the joy of sipping on a treat that's as good for your taste buds as it is for your well-being. Cheers to a happy and healthy holiday season! And remember, mocktails are the healthier alternative and the best way to not "miss out" on having a drink during the holidays!
