What’s in a Gingerbread Martini?

Vodka – If you need help picking out a vodka to use, check out the best vodkas for martinis.

Irish Cream – Gives the cocktail a rich and creamy flavor.

Gingerbread Syrup – Make you’re own homemade or buy gingerbread syrup at the store.

Milk – 2% or whole milk will work.

Molasses – Grandma’s Molasses will work for this recipe.

Gingerbread Cookies – To garnish the cocktail with.

Molasses really does make a difference in the flavor of this recipe. Most recipes online don’t use molasses in their gingerbread martinis. However, the molasses flavor is not strong enough in the gingerbread syrup, so adding a teaspoon creates the ultimate flavor.

Gingerbread Syrup

Gingerbread syrup is a simple syrup flavored with gingerbread spices and brown sugar. Try our recipe for gingerbread syrup or use a premade syrup.
