Ingredients
- 2 ounces eggnog
- 1½ ounces vodka (spiced rum works too!)
- 1 tablespoon molasses
- ½ teaspoon ground ginger
- ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch of nutmeg
- Crushed gingerbread cookies for garnish
- Optional: whipped cream for topping
Instructions
Begin by chilling your martini glass. Pop it into the freezer for a few minutes or fill it with ice and water while you gather your ingredients. This helps keep the drink brisk and refreshing.
Next, grab a cocktail shaker or jar with a tight-fitting lid. Pour in the eggnog, vodka, and molasses, then sprinkle in the ginger, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Secure the lid and shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until everything is beautifully combined and slightly frothy.
Discard the ice or water from your chilled glass. If you’d like, run a little molasses or simple syrup around the rim and dip the edge into crushed gingerbread cookies for extra flair.
Carefully strain your spiced eggnog mixture into the prepared glass. Top it with whipped cream if you’re feeling extra festive, and finish with a dusting of cinnamon or crumbled cookie.
Cheers! Your Cozy Gingerbread Cookie Eggnog Martini is ready to sip and savor.
This recipe captures all the warmth and aroma of classic gingerbread, making it perfect for holiday gatherings or a cozy night by the fire. If you’re seeking a more moderate indulgence, try cutting back on the vodka or swapping it for spiced rum. For a non-alcoholic twist, simply substitute the liquor with extra eggnog or a little coffee for depth. No matter how you shake it, this creamy, comforting martini adds scrumptious holiday spirit to every sip.
