Description

This Gingerbread Martini is a festive and indulgent cocktail perfect for holiday celebrations. Combining gingerbread-flavored vodka, coffee liqueur, Irish cream, and creamy half-and-half, it delivers rich flavors of spice and sweetness. The glass rimmed with melted white chocolate and crushed gingerbread cookies adds a delightful crunch, while whipped cream and cinnamon on top provide a luxurious finish.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Martini

  • 113.4 g gingerbread-flavored vodka
  • 2 tsp ground ginger
  • 56.7 g coffee liqueur
  • 56.7 g Irish cream liqueur
  • 113.4 g half and half or cream
  • Ice (generous amount for shaking)

For Garnish

  • 1/2 cup whipped cream
  • 2 tbsp ground cinnamon

For Glass Rim

  • 1/2 cup white chocolate, melted
  • 1 cup gingerbread cookies, crushed

Instructions

  1. Rim the glasses: Melt the white chocolate and carefully dip the rims of two glasses into the melted chocolate. Then immediately dip the rims into the crushed gingerbread cookies, rotating them to ensure full coverage. Set the glasses aside to let the rim set.
  2. Mix the cocktail: Add the gingerbread-flavored vodka, half and half or cream, Irish cream liqueur, coffee liqueur, ground ginger, and plenty of ice into a cocktail shaker.
  3. Shake well: Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds, chilling the mixture and blending the flavors thoroughly.
  4. Strain into glasses: Strain the chilled cocktail evenly into the prepared glasses, careful not to disturb the decorated rims.
  5. Add garnish: Top each martini with a generous dollop of whipped cream.
  6. Sprinkle cinnamon: Lightly dust ground cinnamon over the whipped cream for a fragrant and festive garnish.
  7. Serve: Serve immediately and enjoy this rich, creamy, and spicy holiday cocktail.

Notes

  • Use fresh crushed gingerbread cookies for the best texture on the rim.
  • You can substitute half and half with heavy cream for a richer cocktail or with milk for a lighter option.
  • Adjust the ground ginger to taste depending on your preference for spice intensity.
  • Make sure to shake the cocktail vigorously to achieve a smooth, chilled drink.
  • The whipped cream garnish can be sweetened or flavored with vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  • This cocktail is best enjoyed immediately to retain its creamy texture and garnish presentation.
