Peppermint Iceberg

Pro tips

• Chill your glass in the freezer for 10–15 minutes before pouring to enhance the 'iceberg' effect.
• Use a fresh peppermint candy stick as both garnish and stirrer to infuse subtle candy flavor.
• Serve immediately after pouring; schnapps warms quickly at room temperature.

Substitutions

• Peppermint schnapps → Crème de menthe (white; slightly sweeter, use same measure)
• Peppermint candy stick → Crushed candy canes or rock candy (visual and textural alternative)

Can I make Peppermint Iceberg ahead of time?

Best served fresh and chilled. Prepare the schnapps in a chilled glass just before serving to maintain the texture and flavor.

What type of peppermint candy stick should I use?

A traditional hard peppermint candy stick works best as a garnish and stirrer. It won't dissolve immediately in the schnapps.

Is this drink hot or cold?

Peppermint Iceberg is served cold, typically poured over ice or in a pre-chilled glass for maximum chill.

Can I scale this recipe for a group?

Yes—multiply 2 oz peppermint schnapps per serving and prepare chilled glasses in advance. Garnish each with a candy stick just before serving.
