With the holidays right around the corner, I wanted to test out a holiday cocktail to enjoy at my sister’s house on Christmas Eve.
We always create a signature cocktail to serve. So I’m thrilled to be partnering with Sugarlands Shine for this post.
If you are not familiar with them yet, you are in for a treat.
About Sugarlands Shine
Sugarlands Distilling Co. is a locally owned, community–minded, “give-back” brand that produces quality, craft spirits. Their distillery opened in 2014 in downtown Gatlinburg, Tenn.
They offer popular tours and workshops, where guests are invited to taste samples of their award-winning spirits.
You may also recognize them from the popular television show, Discovery Channel’s Moonshiners Legends, who bring their traditional recipes to you!
Check out some of the other moonshine flavors:
- Blueberry Muffin
- Maple Bacon
- Apple Pie
- Pina Colada
In addition to moonshine, they also offer award-winning whiskey and sippin’ creams.
Since my sister and I are both fans of peppermint, I decided to try out the peppermint moonshine first for our Christmas Eve cocktail, with a peppermint white russian.
Peppermint White Russian Ingredients
- Coffee liqueur
- Peppermint Moonshine
- Vodka
- Light Cream
- Crushed Candy Canes
- Melted White Chocolate
How To Make A Peppermint White Russian
Start by rimming the glass. I used a high ball glass, which is the perfect size.
Melt white chocolate candy wafers in a microwave safe bowl at 30 second intervals.
Place several candy canes in a zip lock bag and use a rolling pin to crush them.
Dip the rim of your glass in the melted white chocolate, then into the crushed peppermint.
Fill the glass with ice.
Pour the coffee liqueur, vodka and peppermint moonshine in a shaker. Shake vigorously until well blended. Top with light cream.
Pour into the glass. Add a candy cane stirrer. Enjoy!
The peppermint blends perfectly with the coffee liqueur and packs quite the punch, without being overpowering.
You can make up a batch to serve for the holidays, or just enjoy this festive cocktail for a weekend treat.

I also received Cole Swindell’s pre show punch, apple pie and blackberry moonshine, so there will be plenty more moonshine spirits coming up!
