A Gingerbread Espresso Martini is exactly what we want to be drinking right now!

One of life’s greatest pleasures is surely an espresso martini, right? We’ve taken inspiration from the classic recipe and given it a really indulgent, festive twist, with the inclusion of sweet, spicy gingerbread syrup in place of coffee liqueur, real cream (for an Irish coffee-style topping) and an aromatic sprinkle of Christmas spice!

If you’re looking for an easy Christmas gin cocktail recipe, look no further! It’s incredibly easy to make and an absolutely massive crowd-pleaser - it’ll be a real winner at all your festive parties.

Gingerbread Espresso Martini Christmas gin cocktail recipe

Gingerbread Espresso Martini

35ml gin
15ml gingerbread liqueur
10ml coffee liqueur
5ml simple syrup
25ml espresso
30-40ml double cream, to top
Shaved chocolate or nutmeg, to garnish

Fill a cocktail shaker with ice, then add your gin, gingerbread liqueur, coffee liqueur, simple syrup and espresso. Shake well. Strain into a martini or coupe cocktail glass. Remove the ice from your shaker and rinse, then add the cream and shake for a minute, so it goes a little frothy. (That bit is optional!) Gently pour your cream over the back of a teaspoon so it floats on top of your drink. Sprinkle with a little shaved chocolate or ground nutmeg (cinnamon or ginger will also work here). Serve immediately!
