Christmas Candy Cane Vodka

Above all else, when it comes to Christmas, the candy cane is king. Well king of the candy. I don't want to go into any religion since that may cause people to drink a lot more. So let's take a look at what we are working with.
The twelve days of Christmas? How about 12 candy canes? Just your standard variety of cane.
But I was getting the feeling that 12 might be too many, so I went with 8.

Crystal Mint Vodka

Do you like Crystal Meth? How about Crystal Meth vodka? Oops, I mean crystal MINT vodka. Judging by the packaging though, you might have made the same mistake. Crystal Mint is a type of clear mint put out by the Sweet Shoppe. It's a dollar store brand, since I got it in a dollar store after all. But just because it is a cheap candy, it doesn't mean it is bad. In fact, they taste pretty good, and they last for a long time.
Here's the product I was talking about. This features mainly a clear type of mint. This is what can be quite interesting.
At first I decided to just do a few, but ten turned into twenty, which turned into the rest of the bag. I had high hopes for this one, considering other mint vodkas like Great Bite and just general mint vodka have each turned out quite nicely.

Great Bite Mint Vodka

Hey kids. Do you like attitude? Do you like sharks? How about mint gum shark candy for all you surfer ninjas out there? I guess that's the marketing scheme they went with when creating this candy. It's not a terrible idea, as it does have a certain awesome factor.
The candy comes in a sealed tin with a giant bite mark out of it. That alone is pretty cool, but that's not the end of it, which we will get to in a bit.
It's loaded quite full with their mint candy. The candy itself does taste like mint, but is far from overpowering.

Certs Vodka

Certs is a breath freshening candy, which has been around for years. Their claim to fame is Retsyn, a compound that gives it a green colour. This was used to make it seem more special than other mints, which allowed them to be the number one breath freshening mint sellers. Good on them! But we don't really care about that. We want to know how it tastes in vodka.
This is how they come, just in a tube like Life Savers.

Mentos Mint Vodka

Sometimes I feel like I am not as... Fresh as I could be. By that I mean my breath of course. So sometimes I keep a little something ready just in case I need a pick me up. By that I either mean a vodka drink, or some Mentos. Well I really keep the Mentos on me, just in case I need to put them in someone's drink. Surprise.

So this is what I like to keep around on my person, just in case things start to get heavy. It is not as good as a Jr Mint to save people's lives, but it is good enough.

Mint Vodka

Mints and vodka. They are quite fantastic in their own, but what happens when we force them to live together? Would it be the odd couple, or a couple of guys in a frat house? It's hard to say. Let's try and find out.

Start by grabbing a bag of mints. These ones I jacked from my Grandma's house, because I am a total badass.
