Candy canes always seem like a good idea. There’s a certain nostalgia surrounding them — they remind us of childhood traditions, singing carols and waiting up for Santa — but have you really stopped to evaluate them as an adult?
Nine times out of 10 they’re stale, sticky or, inexplicably, both. You work that end into a sharp point just because that’s what you do, not because you really enjoy it.

There’s nothing to this recipe… it is literally candy canes dissolved in vodka. Bonus points for putting it in adorable little bottles and adorning said bottles with cute stickers. If you can manage to not drink it all yourself, consider gifting your homemade liqueur. This is one handmade gift your friends and family will actually want.
