Are you a big gingerbread fan? Then, you’re going to love this tasty, cozy holiday cocktail recipe.

Few things radiate Christmastime and holiday energy more than gingerbread men and houses. Not only are the little cookies cute and fun, but they’re delicious with that gingery molasses flavor. 

If you love gingerbread and want to find a way to incorporate that delicious, spicy, and sweet flavor into a cocktail, look no further than the gingerbread latte martini! 

Similar to the crowd-favorite espresso martini, this cute martini is especially fun to serve to any adults who were obsessed with building gingerbread houses as a kid.

It’s a festive and tasty drink that will certainly leave you feeling warm and fuzzy.

Here’s how to make one!

Gingerbread Latte Martini

Ingredients:

  • 2 ounces of vodka
  • 1.5 ounces of Irish cream
  • 1.5 ounces of whipping cream
  • 1 chilled espresso shot
  • 2 tablespoons of gingerbread flavored syrup
  • 4 tablespoons of soft, dark brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon each of ginger and cinnamon (for garnish)

To start your gingerbread martini, you’ll want to create a sweet and spicy rim for your glass. First, line your martini glass rim with gingerbread syrup.

Next, combine your brown sugar, ginger, and cinnamon and spread the mixture on a plate or in a shallow dish. Then, simply dip the syrupy glass rim into the sugar mixture to create an evenly coated, sugary rim.

Next, put some ice in a cocktail shaker before adding the vodka, Irish cream, gingerbread syrup, whipping cream, and espresso.

Then, pop on the shaker lid and give it a good shake for at least 10 to 15 seconds so everything gets nice and cold.

Finally, pour your martini into your sweetly rimmed-glass and wait a moment before serving to allow a nice foam to settle on top. 

Feel free to garnish your martini with a few more sprinkles of cinnamon and ginger or, better yet, a tiny gingerbread cookie!

And there you have it, a cocktail that will make any gingerbread lover happy. Serve them for dessert at your next holiday party, or quickly whip them up before watching your favorite Christmas movie.

Enjoy and happy holidays!
