Enjoy!

Ingredients:

1 ounce peppermint schnapps Hershey's chocolate syrup

Who wants a fun, simple, and good-tasting shot full of holiday cheer around Christmas? Anyone? Well kids, this shot is for you. The Peppermint Patty is simply the ingenious combination of peppermint schnapps and Hershey's chocolate syrup mixed into deliciousness. At this time of year, ordering a Peppermint Patty at the bars shouldn't be too difficult - most decent bars have chocolate syrup on hand for other mocha-flavored drinks. If you visit an inferior bar, however, and they are not familiar with the Peppermint Patty, just ask for a shot of peppermint schnapps with a side of chocolate milk - it tastes almost as amazing.

Gentlemen and ladies alike will find this bev not only tasty but also fun. The proper technique for the Peppermint Patty may take a couple tries to get down, but eventually the results are fantastic. First, throw back a shot (1 ounce) of peppermint schnapps but keep it in your mouth - don't down it quite yet. Now, pour your desired amount of Hershey's syrup right into your mouth, and shake your head violently, mixing the two together. When you feel like you've done an adequate job of mixing, or you get tired of shaking your head, finally down the shot. Have an excellent holiday everyone, and don't forget to drink up.
