SheSpeaks has once again partnered with Torani syrups to spread the word about it’s flavored syrups. Selected bloggers, including myself, were sent two bottles of Torani and challenged to create recipes. Last year I was thrilled to be a part of the program and was excited this year when selected again.
This time I time around I received Salted Caramel and Peppermint. I was really eager to try the Salted Caramel. The bloggers who had previously tried it raved about the flavor. Peppermint had me a little nervous. While I knew using the syrup in coffee was an obvious go-to, I am not really a fan of peppermint in my coffee. It’s not bad but it’s not really my thing. I had tried the peppermint in my tea and loved sipping the concoction while winding down from the day but wanted to be a little more exotic.
Peppermint Torani was like a mystery. I really struggled to think of ways to enjoy it and just when I thought I was going to gift the bottle to a friend, someone suggested adding it to a mixed drink. After asking friends for ideas I hit the web and library for recipe inspiration. The results were nothing that spoke to me but a clerk at a store suggested a flavored vodka mixed with the peppermint. I added my favorite soft drink and the Peppermint Vanilla Pepsi vodka was born!
For this recipe I used
one half can of Pepsi Max
A tablespoon of Peppermint Torani
A shot of Vanilla vodka
ice
The drink was smooth and tasty, not too heavy with alcohol and made for a nice cocktail at the end of a crazy day.

r’s note: I was sent two 750ml bottles of Torani Syrups plus a recipe booklet, 5 coupons for $1 off your next Torani purchase but all opinions are my own.
I see their syrups at the market, but have never bought one. Salted caramel may be the reason that changes.
Do it!

I can’t wait to try out some of the other varieties. I had such a blast baking with the two I received.
I was so focused on drinks that I didn’t even think about baking! I am definately going to try that next.
I hadn’t paid attention to the product in stores before; but particularly with your peppermint vodka drink I might be willing to check it out. Great post.
Cute cup, and I like how you combined Pepsi with your Torani – that’s different!
Salted caramel looks really good! I’m going to have to check that out!
