Poor man's improvisation, but what the heck.

I'll report back.
So I popped a 2017 BCBS last night and dropped in a chewable candy cane and tried to recap it with my homebrew capper. Should've known those BCBS bottles wouldn't take a standard cap, so I stuck a wine stopper in it and wrapped in press and seal. Poured today and the candy cane had completely dissolved into the beer. Aroma is big peppermint and the taste is of a boozy York peppermint patty. It lost a bit of carbonation, but still recommended if you have an extra BCBS to spare for science.
