Run run run…

as fast as you can. You can’t catch me, I’m the Gingerbread Man.

This is my current favourite Friday drink.

I make the syrup myself. It’s so worth it.

The Gingerbread Man

30mls Citrus Vodka
30mls Cointreau
30mls Gingerbread Syrup
Juice of 1 lime

Mix all ingredients in cocktail shaker.

Pour some syrup into a container & dip your upturned glass into the syrup & then rim with sugar before pouring the drink.

Relax & enjoy.
