Gingerbread Martini Mocktail
Serves: 3
Ingredients
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 12 ounces vanilla or ginger-flavored soda (Dry brand soda has less sugar)
- 1-2 tablespoons brown sugar (or to taste)
- ⅛ teaspoon allspice
- ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
For the glasses
- 2 teaspoons molasses
- ¼ cup gluten-free gingersnap cookies, crushed
Directions
- Put 2 teaspoons molasses on a plate, set aside. On another plate, place the crushed gluten-free gingersnap cookies.
- Dip the rim of each glass into the molasses, then the crushed gingersnaps.
- In a shaker, combine heavy cream, vanilla Dry sparkling soda, allspice, cinnamon, brown sugar and 2 tsp. molasses.
- Scrape off any excess foam created from shaking.
- Divide among two glasses, such as wine tumblers or stemmed wine glasses
Notes: You may have to make this in two batches if your shaker bottle is smaller. Be sure to scrape off excess foam after shaking. Also, any vanilla soda will work but Dry Sparkling isn't overly sweet and tastes so clean and smooth.
