Martini Ingredients
- 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
Garnish Ingredients
- 1/2 cup whipped cream
- 2 tbsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup white chocolate, melted (for the rim)
- 1 cup gingerbread cookies, crushed (for the rim)
Instructions
- Rim the Glasses: Melt the white chocolate and carefully dip the rims of two martini glasses into the melted chocolate. Immediately dip the chocolate-coated rims into the crushed gingerbread cookies, rotating each glass to ensure the rims are fully coated. Set the glasses aside to allow the chocolate to set.
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, pour the gingerbread-flavored vodka, half and half (or cream), Irish cream liqueur, coffee liqueur, and ground ginger. Add a generous amount of ice to chill the mixture.
- Shake the Cocktail: Seal the shaker and shake vigorously for 15 to 20 seconds. This chills the drink thoroughly and blends the flavors together.
- Strain and Serve: Strain the chilled cocktail mixture into the prepared gingerbread cookie-rimmed glasses evenly.
- Garnish: Top each martini with a generous dollop of whipped cream. Sprinkle the ground cinnamon over the whipped cream to add aroma and a festive touch.
- Enjoy Immediately: Serve the Gingerbread Martini immediately for the best flavor and presentation.
Notes
- Use quality gingerbread-flavored vodka for an authentic holiday taste.
- Ensure the white chocolate is fully melted and slightly cooled before dipping the glass rims to avoid drips.
- Crush the gingerbread cookies finely to create an even coating on the glass rims.
- Adjust the amount of ground ginger according to your spice preference.
- For a richer cocktail, substitute half and half with heavy cream.
- Shake the cocktail well to achieve the perfect chilled and blended drink.
- Serve immediately to maintain the texture of the whipped cream and chocolate rim.
