Spiced Gingerbread Cocktail
There is always a bottle or two wrapped under our tree at Christmas, some to be savoured and kept for sipping throughout the year and some as the perfect Christmas Day gift to be enjoyed with friends and the Glam Gathering there and then. Smirnoff Gold Liqueur is a fabulous Christmas gift, glittering with edible gold leaf this triple distilled vodka has a warming hint of cinnamon, perfect for Christmas and New Year celebrations.
Shot Of Smirnoff Gold
Imagine frosted shot glasses of sparkling Smirnoff Gold, in fact a bottle with two or four glasses would be a perfect Glamorous gift. Like a bit of fizz? Mix with appletise in a long glass and a matching sparkling stirrer, watch the gold flecks dance in the bubbles. This is a versatile cocktail carrier, mix with ginger beer and a dash of lime, or warmed with brown sugar, apple juice and apple puree a perfect Christmas warmer. My favourite is a velvety, Spiced Gingerbread – Smirnoff gold, egg white, ginger syrup and a dash of lemon juice all beautifully shaken into a luscious martini glass of festive spirit. Serve with a crisp ginger cookie to complete your festive flavours.
