Cooking Tips

• Make your own gingerbread syrup by combining equal parts water and brown sugar with ground ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves. Simmer until the sugar has dissolved and the spices have infused the syrup.
• Experiment with different types of beer to find your preferred flavor combination. A dark and rich beer works well with the gingerbread flavors.
• For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the vodka with ginger ale or sparkling water.

Storage and Serving

• The Gingerbread Beer-Tini is best served immediately after preparation.
• If you have leftover gingerbread syrup, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
• To serve, simply shake the syrup with vodka and beer as instructed.
