Countdown time. Christmas is days away and I know you already have your shopping done…right? For me now all I have to worry about it getting my food together. I do lots of cooking and cocktail making so I just have to make sure I have all fresh ingredients.
My family is big on cocktails, especially eggnog around the holidays. One flavor that is often overlooked when it comes to cocktails is ginger, why do we always forget ginger! It adds a little spice to the drink and clears up your sinuses. We already have the gingerbread house and of course the gingerbread man, why not a gingerbread cocktail for the little man to sip on?
Gingerbread Eggnog White Russian
The triple threat. Gingerbread flavor with eggnog over a White Russian. Don’t count calories, just cocktails. Stop by Delish.com for the recipe.

Gingerbread Shooters
I love this little shooter! It uses fresh ginger and and Bailey’s irish cream, two of my favorite ingredients. You could really get your family to let lose with this little shooters! Get the recipe at SomethingtoSnackon.com.
Gingerbread Martini
I knew there was a way to combine cookies and martini’s. This recipe requires putting in the elbow work and making your own gingerbread syrup. So be ready to get cracking! Make this drink and share with your loved one’s with dessert. Recipe at eat-drink-love.
Stout Gingerbread Flip
A beer cocktail perfect for the person who loves a good stout on Christmas Eve. I love a good oatmeal stout, so this sounds something right up my alley.
