homemade peppermint candy cane gin.

I do love a flavoured gin. So when I had some leftover candy canes from Christmas, I thought I'd experiment with some homemade gin myself. This festive favourite is super easy to make, just choose your favourite plain gin, add candy canes and allow it to infuse. This homemade peppermint candy cane gin recipe really is that simple.

Shopping list.
♥ Five peppermint candy canes
♥ 500ml your favourite plain gin
Adjust accordingly, at a ratio of one candy cane per 100ml of gin.

Simply use a gin where you've already used at least a quarter of the bottle, so you can easily add in the candy canes.

Step one. Break up your candy canes and add to the gin.

Step two. Leave for 24 hours, shaking occasionally.

Step three. Serve up with classic tonic, garnishing with crushed candy cane on the rim.
