Gingerbread Cookie Cocktail

Gingerbread goes hand in hand with the holidays. That is why I love this cocktail so much.

This cocktail is so easy to drink because it tastes just like a gingerbread cookie.

It is so easy to make and can be made in minutes for a single serving for yourself or made to serve up to a crowd.

I would honestly make this right before serving for the best taste and freshness.

How would you make for a crowd?

Hi Tammy, since this recipe is for 1 drink, you could just multiply it but the number of people you think are attending and then put it into a large punch bowl. You could then just pre-make the cups with the frosting and sprinkles so people could fill up their own glasses.
