This is the Best Gingerbread Martini Recipe. It is as delicious as it is stunning.
Your friends will be talking about this drink long after the party is over. My favorite way to garnish this gingerbread vodka cocktail is with a tiny little gingerbread man cookie.
There is an added step to making the homemade gingerbread syrup. You can use store-bought but the homemade adds a little more depth of flavor.
In my opinion, it makes all the difference in this delicious Christmas Cocktail.
The Homemade Gingerbread Syrup Recipe makes plenty. You can store it in the fridge so you only have to make it once. Or, the recipe can be cut in half.
I served these last year during the holiday season and not only did everyone love them, I’m pretty sure I saw pictures of their drinks on their Instagram. And, I’ve had requests to make them again this year.
