Play 9

I love spending time at the beautiful South Shore Golf Club during the winter season. They do such a great job of decorating the clubhouse and creating a festive golf experience over the holidays and while ringing in a new year. South Shore Golf Club is located in Lake Las Vegas, a lovely area north of The Strip that exudes beauty with natural scenic mountain and water views. The back 9 of the South Shore Golf Club is my favorite—it has lengthy par 3’s, but narrow and reachable par 5’s, allowing you to challenge yourself. The tee elevations are gorgeous throughout the course, and you feel like you are truly playing in the mountains.

It’s winter season and the most wonderful time of the year! We are allowed to splurge and enjoy ourselves a bit more with family and friends. One of my favorite cocktails is my White Chocolate Peppermint Martini. Before making my martini, I enjoy making my martini glass festive by adding red sugar sprinkles to the rim and by swirling chocolate syrup inside the glass!

White Chocolate Peppermint Martini

4 oz of Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur

2 ½ oz Smirnoff Vanilla Vodka

1 ½ oz Peppermint Schnapps

Crushed Ice

Hershey’s Chocolate Syrup

Red sugar sprinkles

Decorative mint candy cane

Start off by wetting the rim of your martini glass then follow by dipping the rim onto a bed of red sugar sprinkles and swirling chocolate syrup around the inside of the glass. Next, fill your martini half way with crushed ice, add your first three ingredients and shake well. Pour into a martini glass and top with mint candy cane. Enjoy!
