THE GINGERBREAD MARTINI along with a Recipe for Making Gingerbread Liqueur! Ingredients: Gingerbread Liqueur, Coffee Vodka, Irish Cream Liqueur, Gingerbread Man Cookies
Like my Gingerbread Man Martini, this Gingerbread Martini is a perfect cocktail for the holidays. The spices of baking gingerbread just bring home that old-fashioned holiday experience and this martini has that aroma down pat as well as that lovely gingerbread flavor. If you like a creamy version, try the Gingerbread Man Martini. There are actually two National Gingerbread Day dates, one on June 5th (hmmm) and one on November 21st. I like gingerbread so I can do this holiday twice a year....but I think November is a much more approriate date, don't you? RECIPE FOR HOME MADE GINGERBREAD LIQUEUR Ingredients You'll Need: 1 Tbsp. Ginger Root, Sliced Thin 2 Cinnamon Sticks 3 Cloves 1 Vanilla Bean 1/2 Cup Granulated Sugar 1/2 Cup Molasses 2 Cups Vodka Tools You'll Need: 1 Qt. Infusion Jars with tight lids, Lg. Jar for straining (I use jumbo mayo jars), Large Metal Strainer, Coffee Filters, Decorative Bottles, Labels Directions Add all your ingredients together in the infusion jar and tighten up the lid. Shake well and put into your refrigerator. Shake every day, checking for the flavor profile each day. Distill for a minimum of 2 weeks and up to 1 month (I have heard of some people letting their liqueur perk away for a year but I never have that kind of patience). When the liqueur has reached the flavor level you desire get out your straining tools and patiently pour it through the coffee filter lined metal strainer to remove any sediment. You're now ready to bottle up and label your home made Gingerbread Liqueur for your own use or as a gift!
