As we move closer to Christmas, I’m celebrating with 12 Days of Christmas cocktails. Be sure to follow along with my 12 Days of Christmas Cocktails on Wander.

On the fifth day of Christmas, I sipped a White Chocolate Peppermint Martini thanks to a recipe from Sonoma Syrup Company. Sonoma Syrup Company makes artisan-infused simple syrups, extracts, and mixers. They use all-natural ingredients, so you avoid that chemical aftertaste.
