Gingerbread Martini

Martini Monday

Ingredients
  

  • 4 oz Vanilla flavored vodka ( Stoli)
  • 2 oz Gingerbread Syrup ( Le Lirop De Monin) 
  • 2 oz Coffee Liqueur
  • 2 oz Irish cream Vanilla Cinnamon Liqueur (Or Baily’s original Irish Cream)
  • 4 oz Half-and-Half or cream
  • 1/2  cup Whipped cream (for garnish) ( I’m using Dairy Star Caramel Whipped Topping)
  • 1 tbsp Cinnamon Sugar (for garnish)
  • 1 oz White Chocolate Sauce (for the rim) (Torani White Chocolate Pure made sauce) 
  • ½  cup Gingerbread Cookie

Instructions
 

  • *Rim the Glasses: ** Carefully dip the rims of two elegant cocktail glasses into the white chocolate, ensuring a generous coating. Next, take crushed gingerbread cookies and rotate the chocolate-coated rims in the crumbs, allowing the sweet and spicy bits to cling on beautifully. Once coated, set the glasses aside to let the chocolate harden slightly.
  • **Mix the Cocktail: ** In a cocktail shaker, pour in the gingerbread syrup, vanilla vodka, rich half-and-half or thick cream, smooth Irish cream liqueur, and decadent coffee liqueur. Add the ice, then fill the shaker with plenty to ensure the drink is delightfully chilled. Secure the lid tightly and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds, allowing the ingredients to meld together and cool down.
  • **Serve the Cocktail: ** After shaking, carefully strain the frothy concoction into the prepared glasses, watching as the rich, creamy liquid fills each glass. To finish, top each cocktail with a generous, fluffy whipped cream, creating a cloud-like garnish. Lightly sprinkle cinnamon sugar over the whipped cream for the final touch, adding a warm, aromatic flair. Top with a Gingerbread cookie.
