Instructions

Gingerbread Espresso Syrup (Makes enough for 8 cocktails)

  • To a small saucepan, add granulated sugar, brown sugar, ground cinnamon, ground ginger, ground cloves, molasses, vanilla extract, and ½ cup water. Stir together over medium-high heat and bring to a boil.
  • Once ingredients begin to boil, reduce heat and allow to simmer, stirring constantly, for about 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat. Immediately transfer to a sealable heat-proof container and place in the refrigerator to cool while preparing the espresso in the next step. 
  • In a small bowl or cup, add instant espresso granules and 1 tablespoon water. Stir well until all granules have dissolved.  
  • Remove syrup from the refrigerator and stir-in the espresso mixture. Place syrup back into the refrigerator to cool for at least 30 minutes. 

Gingerbread Latte Dessert Cocktail

  • Run an orange wedge around the rim of your cocktail glass. Tilting the glass at a 45-degree angle, dip the dampened rim into a shallow plate of crumbled gingerbread cookies. Rotate the glass, continuing to dip its edge into the crumbs until the rim is well coated.  
  • Fill a cocktail shaker ½ full of ice. Add milk, gingerbread espresso syrup, black spiced rum, and coffee liqueur to the shaker. Secure the lid and shake until chilled throughout (about 20 seconds).
  • Pour into prepared cocktail glass. Top with whipped cream, a sprinkle of crumbled gingerbread cookies, and a cinnamon stick, if desired.
