Ingredients
Gingerbread Syrup
- ½ cup water
- ½ cup dark brown sugar
- 2 tablespoon molasses
- 1 teaspoon ground ginger
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- ⅛ teaspoon ground cloves
Martini
- 2 oz Baileys Irish Cream
- 1 ½ oz vodka
- 1 ½ oz gingerbread syrup
- 1 oz heavy cream
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla extract
- crushed gingerbread cookies for garnish
- whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the water, sugar, molasses, ginger, cinnamon and cloves in small saucepan over medium heat until the sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes.
- Mix Baileys, vodka, gingerbread syrup, heavy cream, vanilla extract and some ice cubes in martini shaker. Shake for 20 seconds and strain into a chilled martini glass. Top with some whipped cream and crushed gingerbread cookies.
Notes
- Place the martini glass in the freezer for an hour so it keeps your martini chilled.
- You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or whole milk.
- If you want even more vanilla flavor, increase the vanilla extract to ½ tsp.
- If you don't make or have gingerbread cookies, try gingersnap or Biscoff cookies.
