This Candy Cane Vodkow Fizz combines made-in-Ontario Vodkow and Vodkow Cream in a cocktail inspired by a favourite holiday cookie: the peppermint meltaway.
To make candy-cane-infused Vodkow, simply add one large candy cane to a bottle of Vodkow and let stand until candy cane is fully dissolved.
Add all ingredients (except soda water) to a shaker and dry shake for 15-20 seconds. Add ice and shake again until well-chilled.
Strain into a chilled highball glass. Top with soda water.
Garnish with a candy cane.
Rosemary Syrup
Combine sugar, water, and rosemary sprigs in a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a simmer, stirring occasionally, until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let sit at room temperature until completely cool.
Remove rosemary sprigs and store syrup in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three weeks.
