Recipe FAQs
- → Can I use store-bought gingerbread syrup?
Yes, store-bought gingerbread syrup works perfectly for this recipe. However, making your own syrup at home allows you to customize the flavor to your liking.
- → What can I use instead of vodka?
You can simply omit the vodka if you'd like a less potent cocktail. The drink will still be delicious with the gin and other ingredients.
- → Can I substitute the cream with a non-dairy option?
Absolutely! You can use coconut cream, oat milk, or almond milk as a substitute for the heavy cream or half-and-half.
- → How do I rim the glass with brown sugar or cookies?
First, coat the rim of your martini glass with honey. Then dip the rim into a shallow plate of brown sugar or crushed gingerbread cookies until it's evenly coated.
- → Can I prepare this cocktail in advance?
This cocktail is best enjoyed fresh, but you can pre-mix the gin, vodka, gingerbread syrup, cream, and vermouth and store it in the fridge. Shake with ice just before serving.
