Categories     beverage

Time 29m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup water
1 1/2 cups sugar
1-inch piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
2 cinnamon sticks
3 whole cloves
1 cup boiling water
2 tablespoons instant espresso powder
3 to 4 tablespoons hazelnut liqueur (recommended: Frangelico), optional
4 ounces (1/2 cup) Kahlua

Steps:

  • For the syrup: In a small saucepan over medium heat, combine the water, sugar, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sugar has dissolved.
  • Remove the pan from the heat and allow the syrup to cool, about 20 minutes. Remove and discard the ginger, cinnamon, and cloves.
  • For the espresso: In an 8-ounce glass measuring cup, whisk together the boiling water, espresso powder, and liqueur, if using, until the powder is dissolved. Set aside to cool.
  • Combine 1 cup syrup with the espresso/hazelnut liqueur mixture in a large martini shaker. Add the Kaluha and shake to combine. Pour over ice-filled glasses and serve.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ginger: Fresh ginger has a more intense flavor than ground ginger, and it will give your cocktail a more authentic taste.
  • Make your own gingerbread syrup: It's easy to make your own gingerbread syrup, and it will give your cocktail a richer flavor than store-bought syrup.
  • Use a good quality vodka: The vodka you use will make a big difference in the taste of your cocktail, so be sure to use a good quality vodka that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Garnish with a gingerbread cookie or candy cane: This will add a festive touch to your cocktail and make it even more enjoyable.

Conclusion:

The Gingerbread Cocktail is a delicious and festive cocktail that is perfect for the holiday season. It's easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're hosting a holiday party or just looking for a fun and festive drink to enjoy, the Gingerbread Cocktail is a great option.
