Ingredients

  • 2 ounces Kahlua (coffee flavored liquor)

  • 3 ounces heavy cream
  • 3 candy canes for garnish
  • Corn syrup for rimming the glass

Instructions

  1. Pour a thin layer or corn syrup on a shallow plate. Take one candy cane and crush it in a plastic bag with a rolling pin and then add it to a second plate.
  2. Dip the rim of a low ball glass into the corn syrup and then roll around in the crushed candy cane.
