Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Prepare the Glass: Begin by selecting a short rocks glass to showcase your Gingerbread White Russian Holiday Cocktail. Fill it with crushed ice, allowing it to chill while you prepare the cocktail components.
  2. Mix the Base Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, pour in 2 oz of vodka, 1 oz of coffee liqueur, and 1 oz of gingerbread syrup. Then, add fresh ice to the shaker, filling it about halfway, and seal the lid tightly. Shake vigorously for about 15 seconds until well combined and chilled.
  3. Strain the Mixture: Remove the rocks glass filled with ice from the freezer or discard the chilling ice. Strain the shaken mixture carefully into the glass over the crushed ice.
  4. Whip the Heavy Cream: In a separate mixing bowl, gently whip 2 oz of heavy cream until it thickens slightly but remains pourable.
  5. Create the Layered Effect: Slowly pour the whipped cream over the back of a spoon onto the top of your Gingerbread White Russian Holiday Cocktail.
  6. Garnish with Spices: Sprinkle ½ teaspoon of ground cinnamon and ½ teaspoon of ground nutmeg over the cream layer.
  7. Add the Finishing Touch: If you like, garnish your drink with a gingerbread cookie perched on the rim of the glass.
