    Ingredients

    • 1 part creme de menthe liqueur (green)
    • 1 part vodka
    • 1 part half & half
    • 1 bottle "cupcake" flavored Magic Shell ice cream topping
    • red liquid food coloring
    • small plastic squeeze bottle

    Directions

    1. 1Put cocktail glasses in the freezer to chill. (These chill pretty fast - 10 mins or so should be fine!)
    2. 2Combine cocktail ingredients in mixing glass or large pitcher (depending on your quantities), stir, and refrigerate- the colder the better.
    3. 3Pour cupcake flavored Magic Shell into a squeeze bottle, leaving enough room at the top to be able to shake it to mix thoroughly. Add red food coloring bit by bit (capping the bottle and shaking well after each addition) until desired color is reached.
    4. 4Remove a glass from the freezer and paint a design on the inside surface with your bottle of Magic Shell- stars and swirls work well. Place glass in back in freezer, or in refrigerator until serving time. Repeat with the rest of the glasses.
    5. 5Immediately before serving, remove a glass from fridge or freezer, fill with the chilled cocktail mixture, and enjoy!
