Iced Gingerbread Daiquiri 🫚🎄🍹
I was inspired to make this cocktail after trying some very spicy ginger syrup, and remembering I had some blackstrap rum with a big molasses note. I went back and forth between serving it up, on crushed ice, or frozen, but settled on frozen because the iced gingerbread pun was right in front of me.
This cocktail has all those wonderful gingerbread spices you love, but in a refreshing frozen format, perfect for those that live in warm places (like me).
Recipe
2oz blackstrap rum 🍹
1oz ginger syrup 🫚
3/4oz lime juice 🍋
1/2oz allspice dram 🇯🇲
6 dashes angostura biters 🇹🇹
1/4 tsp xanthan gum 🧪
180g crushed ice 🧊
Add all ingredients in a blender and blend until smooth, about 20 seconds. The xanthan gum is optional, but it does give your frozen cocktails that perfect frozen texture and keep them from separating as they melt. Garnish with a sprig of mint, pomegranate arils, and a ginger bread cookie, dust top with powdered sugar.
I was also inspired by this over the top Christmas sweater I won at a game of white elephant 🐘
