Instructions
Prepare Homemade Gingerbread Syrup
- Add 1 cup of water, 1 cup of sugar, ¼ tsp. nutmeg, 2 tbsp. molasses, and 1 tsp. cinnamon to a medium saucepan. Heat over medium high, to boiling. Reduce heat and simmer 8-10 minutes. Allow the syrup to cool before using, and store any leftovers in an airtight container.
Prepare Drink
- For the rim, add a shallow layer of corn syrup to a plate, and a shallow layer of brown sugar to another plate. Dip the glass in the corn syrup, letting the excess drip off. Then, dip into the brown sugar.
- For the drink, add ice, vodka, gingerbread syrup, and cream to a cocktail shaker.
- Shake well to combine and chill. Pour strained drink into prepared glass.
- Slowly pour the kahlua down the side of the drink. Enjoy!
Notes
- For a lighter Holiday White Russian, use half-and-half.
- To make it without alcohol, swap vodka and Kahlua for cooled coffee.
- Homemade gingerbread syrup adds amazing flavor: perfect for coffee, lattes, or fluffy pancakes!
