Winter cocktails

Have a lot of different liquors right now, so to use some bottles up, I made some cocktails last weekend for UFC.  Everything was put in shaker with ice and divided between me, Eric, Jasmine, and Ian.
*UPDATED - did a few more for New Year's Eve 2021 with Eric, Jasmine, and Thomas.

Screwball Whiskey Peanut Butter Cup Shots (by homebodyeats.com)
-1 part peanbut butter whiskey (Screwball)
-1 part coffee liqueur (Kahlua)
-1 part milk of choice (almond milk)
-Reddi whip (coconut milk) to top off

Notes: very tasty

White Russian
-2 parts vodka
-1 part Kahlua
-1 part heavy cream/milk (used lite coconut milk) - other recipes vary amount of this

Notes: not as good as 1st one, tasted too strong, maybe 1 parts of each next time

Peppermint White Russian (another website, but also on The Marvelous Misadventures)
-1 part vodka
-1 part Kahlua
-1 part peppermint schnapps
-1 part milk (used almond milk)
-ground up candy cane around rim of glass

Notes: maybe less peppermint? I think I liked the Peppermint cocktail below with the white chocolate liqueur better than Kahlua.

Mistletoe Martini Cranberry Christmas cocktail (by mixthatdrink.com)
-1.5 oz vodka
-0.5 oz elderflower liquer
-1.5 oz cranberry juice
-0.5 oz simple syrup (didn't make, so used grenadine syrup)
-mint leaves

Notes: Eric liked this one the best

Peppermint cocktail (couldn't find original, but similar one found on thecocktailbird.com)
-1 part vanilla vodka (only had regular vodka)
-1 part white chocolate liqueur
-1 part peppermint schnapps
-ground up candy cane around rim of glass

Notes: Very tasty, some other recipes with milk in it that I would try next time

Cranberry Mule Holiday cocktail (from Aberdeen's Kitchen)
-2 oz bourbon
-1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
-1 oz orange juice
-1 oz cranberry juice
-ginger beer to top off
-add some mint sprigs in shaker

Notes: I'm not sure I liked this as much as Eric.  Maybe try with different liquor like rum
