• Batch the base: Blend the white chocolate mixture up to 24 hours ahead and refrigerate. Shake well before serving.
• For a party: Multiply the recipe by 4–6 and blend in batches. Keep the mixture chilled in a large pitcher and top with whipped cream right before serving.

Instructions

How To Make a Peppermint Mocktail Step-by-Step

1. Prepare the Candy Cane Rim

• Place crushed candy canes on one small plate and a thin layer of honey (or marshmallow fluff) on another.
• Dip each glass rim into the honey, coating the entire edge.
• Immediately dip the sticky rim into the crushed candy canes until fully covered.
• Chill the glasses in the refrigerator for 5–10 minutes while you prepare the drink. This helps the rim set and prevents slipping.

2. Blend the Peppermint White Chocolate Base

• In a high-speed blender, combine:
  • Milk
  • Heavy cream
  • Torani white chocolate syrup
  • Peppermint syrup
• Blend until smooth, creamy, and lightly frothy.
• Taste and adjust the sweetness or peppermint flavor as desired.

3. Assemble the Mocktail

• Pour the blended mixture into your prepared candy-cane–rimmed glasses.
• Top generously with whipped cream.
• Add a sprinkle of crushed candy canes and a miniature candy cane for a festive finish.
• Optional: Drizzle a little white chocolate syrup over the whipped cream for a decadent touch.

4. Serve Immediately

This drink is best enjoyed right away, while the whipped cream is fluffy and the rim sparkles.
