Method
Cocktail Preparation
Brew a cup of strong espresso or coffee and allow it to cool slightly.
In a cocktail shaker, combine the cooled espresso, gingerbread syrup, and vanilla syrup (if using). Add heavy cream or milk if desired.
Fill the shaker with ice and shake vigorously for about 15–20 seconds until well chilled.
Carefully strain the mixture into a chilled martini-style glass.
Sprinkle ground cinnamon on top and optionally garnish with a mini gingerbread cookie on the rim.
Serve immediately and enjoy your delightful concoction.
Notes
Use fresh, high-quality coffee for best flavor. Chill your glass beforehand for optimal serving temperature.
