Today’s cookie cocktail is the gingerbread cookie. Warning! This drink is strong and the taste is like a spiced gingerbread.
I adapted the recipe from Sandra Lee. After I made it, I realized that the drink is almost like a Moscow mule. A standard Moscow mule has vodka, ginger beer, and lime juice. This drink has vanilla vodka and ginger beer (plus a few other ingredients). So I added about a teaspoon of lime juice and it actually mellowed out the flavor in a good way. So I put it in a cool copper mug and now I can call it a gingerbread Moscow mule.
Gingerbread cocktail or Gingerbread Moscow mule
1 1/2 oz vanilla vodka
1 1/2 oz coffee liquer
1 oz butterscotch schnapps
4 oz ginger beer
1/2 oz dark rum
1 tsp lime juice
Combine all ingredients in a glass or cool copper mug with ice.
I made so many cookies yesterday I could cry. I didn’t even finish that’s how many I made. And to think that I was so excited to make cookies and to not make any pies. Humph. I may go with pies next year! One of the cookies I did not make however, is a gingerbread cookie. I just drink one instead. My mom is the resident gingerbread cookie maker. They are always nice and soft and chewy. They would go well with my gingerbread cocktail.
