It’s New Year’s Eve! While I don’t drink much alcohol, I do enjoy fancy drinks around the holidays. And this year, this peppermint martini is my current favorite. It’s easy to make and perfect for tonight. I hope you enjoy it and that you have a lovely New Year’s Eve! (And don’t look at the calorie count on this drink. Calories don’t count on NYE!)
