Chill the Glass
Place the martini glass in the freezer for a few minutes to chill while you prepare the cocktail.
Mix the Ingredients
In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the gingerbread syrup, vodka, Baileys, and cream.
Shake It Up
Shake the mixture vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.
This not only blends the ingredients but also chills the cocktail to perfection.
Strain and Pour
Remove the chilled martini glass from the freezer and strain the shaken mixture into the glass.
Garnish with Holiday Cheer:
Top your Gingerbread Martini with a sprinkle of ground cinnamon for that extra festive touch.
How To Garnish Your Gingerbread Martini
As my glass has a gold rim, I decided to go simple with just a sprinkle of cinnamon but you could also rim your glass with crushed graham crackers.
You can do this by moistening the rim with a bit of water or honey and then dipping it into a plate of crushed graham crackers.
