FAQs
If you are wanting a weaker martini, I would recommend only using half of each alcoholic ingredient.
Peppermint is definitely a powerful flavor. If you want some peppermint flavor I would recommend adding ½ or even ¼ of the peppermint schnapps amount.
Other garnishes you can use for these festive drinks would be whipping cream, peppermint bark, or even adding red sprinkles along the rim of the glass.
