Steps:

  • 1. PREP/PREPARE
  • 2. Gather your Ingredients (mise en place).
  • 3. Add everything but the whipped cream to a blender, and blend until smooth, and creamy.
  • 4. Chef's Note: For an added treat, take a peppermint candy cane, place it into a small baggie, and smash it up into bits, then sprinkle the bits on top of the whipped cream. If you can get a green candy cane, you get extra bonus points :-)
  • 5. Chef's Note: If you make your own whipped cream, then add a drop or two of green food coloring to the whipped cream... more bonus points.
  • 6. PLATE/PRESENT
  • 7. Divide between two glasses, and top with whipped cream. Enjoy.
  • 8. Keep the faith, and keep drinking... err cooking.
