Ginger Frost by Blair Frodelius:
0.75 oz. Hiram Walker Gingerbread Liqueur
0.75 oz. fresh squeezed lemon juice
0.25 oz Turbinado simple syrup*
1 egg white
fresh grated nutmeg
snowflake stencil
Pour rum, gingerbread liqueur, lemon juice, simple syrup and egg white into cocktail shaker with ice. Shake well for 30 seconds. Strain into chilled martini glass. Lay snowflake stencil over rim of glass and gently tap fresh grated nutmeg onto drink. Remove stencil and serve!
“To make Turbinado simple syrup take one cup of Turbinado sugar and slowly dissolve into one cup of boiling water. Add tsp of vodka to preserve. Keep refrigerated.”
Blair must have been in the giving spirit, because he sent along this bonus Gingerbread recipe. This one’s on the house folks. Enjoy!
