by Mixologist Gian Magnone
by Mixologist Gian Magnone
2.5oz Absolut Vodka infused with Real Ginger
.5oz Goldschlager
1oz Bailey’s
Garnish:
A small piece of 24k gold leaf is wrapped on top of a cinnamon stick.
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients in a shaker tin with ice, shake vigorously then pour contents into rocks glass.
Flavor profile:
The ginger spice cocktail is similar in flavor to the famous oatmeal cookie shot or martini, however the natural ginger gives the drink a racy infusion of spice. The Goldschlager adds a distinct cinnamon taste while the creaminess of the Bailey’s simultaneously soothes the pallet. The unique spicy taste of the ginger spice definitely makes it a fall cocktail.
ENJOY !
