CANDY CANE VODKA

Steps:

• Snap the candy canes into small pieces, about 2cm in length. Tip into a large jug or jar and pour over the vodka so they're covered.
• Cover and chill for at least 3-5 hrs, or until the sweets have dissolved (there may be a little bit of candy cane left, but most should have dissolved). Strain and pour into clean bottles through a strainer or sieve, using a funnel to help you. Will keep chilled for a week. Serve chilled as a liqueur or in a cocktail (see 'goes well with', below).
