- For the infused peppermint simple syrup: Place the crushed candies in a saucepan with 1 1/2 cups of water. Heat over medium, stirring occasionally, until the candies fully melt into a vibrant syrup. Remove from heat, strain out any stubborn bits, and let it cool completely for that perfect minty infusion.
- For the chocolate peppermint sodas: Crush extra candies and place in a small bowl. Moisten the rims of two highball glasses with water, then dip into the candy for a festive, crunchy edge that'll delight your senses.
- Fill glasses halfway with ice. Add 1 ounce of cooled peppermint syrup to each. Top with seltzer, stir gently to create fizzy pink magic, and drizzle chocolate syrup for swirling decadence. Splash in vodka if you're craving an adult holiday treatpure bliss in every sip!
