Combine water, honey, molasses, sliced ginger, and cinnamon sticks in a medium saucepan. Bring mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring until honey is dissolved. Allow to boil for 3-5 minutes. Remove the pan from heat and stir in vanilla extract. Let the syrup cool completely, then strain through a fine mesh sieve to remove ginger and cinnamon sticks. Store syrup in an airtight container or jar in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Pour a small amount of gingerbread syrup onto a plate and a mixture of cinnamon and sugar onto another plate. Dip the rim of the glass first into the syrup, then into the cinnamon sugar.

Fill a prepared rocks glass with ice. Add vodka, Kahlúa, and gingerbread syrup to the glass and stir gently to combine. Slowly pour heavy cream over the back of a spoon to float it on top of the drink for a layered appearance. Garnish with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon and a mini gingerbread cookie, if desired. Stir before drinking.
