Ingredients
Cocktail Ingredients
- 1 ½ ounces vodka
- ¾ ounce coffee liqueur (e.g., Kahlúa)
- 1 ounce gingerbread syrup
- 1 ounce heavy cream (or coconut cream for dairy-free)
- Ice cubes
For the Glass
- Crushed gingerbread cookies (for rimming the glass)
- Ground cinnamon and nutmeg (to taste)
Optional Garnish
- Whipped cream
- Sprinkle of cinnamon
- Mini gingerbread cookie
Instructions
- Prepare the glass: Rim your rocks glass by dipping the rim in water or gingerbread syrup, then coat it in crushed gingerbread cookies to create a festive and flavorful edge.
- Add ice: Fill the glass about halfway with ice cubes to chill the cocktail efficiently and keep it cold.
- Mix the cocktail: In a cocktail shaker or directly in the glass, combine vodka, coffee liqueur, and gingerbread syrup. Shake or stir until well combined to blend the flavors smoothly.
- Add the cream: Slowly pour heavy cream over the top of the drink. For a beautiful layered look, use the back of a spoon to gently drizzle the cream onto the cocktail.
- Garnish and serve: Top with optional whipped cream, a sprinkle of cinnamon, or a mini gingerbread cookie to enhance aroma and presentation. Serve immediately and enjoy your festive drink!
Notes
- Substitute coconut cream for a dairy-free version of the cocktail.
- Use pre-made gingerbread syrup or make your own by simmering sugar, water, and gingerbread spices.
- To make the rim stick better, moistening the glass rim with gingerbread syrup is recommended over plain water.
- Shake the cocktail briefly to avoid diluting the flavors with too much ice melting.
- For an extra festive touch, garnish with a cinnamon stick or sprinkle additional nutmeg on top.
