I love the holidays! One of my favorite parts of the holidays, are all the smells. I love the smell of making a fire, both inside and outside. I love the smell of the Christmas Tree we get every year. But some of the candles we get are equally as addictive. The Peppermint Vanilla scent is one of my favorites! One day I thought, I love the smell so much, can I recreate something where I can taste that smell. So, I created this drink! It really does taste like the candle smells! Hope you enjoy.
