How to Make Homemade Gingerbread Syrup-

Gingerbread Simple Syrup Ingredients-

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup water
• 2 tbsp. Molasses
• 1 tsp. Ground ginger
• 1 tsp. Cinnamon

Directions-

In a medium sauce pan, add water and sugar. Heat over medium heat, whisking together until it becomes steamy and sugar dissolves. Add molasses, ground ginger, and cinnamon. Continue whisking 2-3 minutes more until ingredients are combined and everything is dissolved together. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days.

We just love the ginger and molasses flavors in this syrup. It is also great added to coffee, a festive cocktail, or other delicious holiday treats.

Tips:

• Want to make sure your cocktail doesn’t get watered down? Skip the ice, kind of…. Add all of the ingredients to a cocktail shaker, and shake well to combine. Strain the drink into your cocktail glass, without the ice.
• You can use any vodka flavor you love. Some great options would be vanilla vodka, cake vodka, or whipped cream vodka.
• Make this drink in a chilled martini glass for an even more fun and delicious Gingerbread Martini recipe.
• You could also pop little gingerbread men cookies onto the side of your glass for a super fun garnish.
• Want to skip the frosting and sprinkles? This drink would be delicious with a cinnamon sugar rim!
• You could also top this drink with whipped cream and a sprinkling of gingerbread cookie crumbs.
