Preparation
  1. Begin by unwrapping your peppermint disks and ensure that you have everything ready.
  2. Place 10 peppermint disks in each mason jar.
  3. Evenly divide your unflavored vodka between both jars, covering the candies completely.
  4. Screw the lids tightly onto each jar and give them a gentle shake.
  5. Turn the jars upside down for a brief moment to mix everything together.
  6. Place the jars in the fridge for about 5 days, allowing the peppermint to dissolve fully.
  7. After 5 days, turn them upside down for an hour, then shake them well before serving.
  8. Serve your delightful shots chilled or over ice.

Notes

You can prepare these shots weeks in advance and serve them in festive glasses. Try garnishing with crushed peppermint or a peppermint stick for an impressive look.
