Reviews
Tastes great, but a lil too much vodka. I’m going to try 3oz next time.
Wow what a boozy punch. I’m a lightweight drinker and needed to add more half and half. I use the leftover syrup for a delicious cup of hot ginger tea by adding a teaspoon to my brewed tea.
A rich, boozy sweet drink , which was popular at a family News Years dinner. Shaking a number of drinks with ice cream takes time so make sure you don’t have other things like appetizers to take care of.
This was a super festive and yummy cocktail!! It was perfect for a girls cookie making party!!!
Loved it
I had a Martini with cheesecake for desert. For the drink followed recipe exactly for the syrup but did substitute the half in half for ice cream.
For the cheesecake I removed the spices just before I simmered syrup. Just slightly milder. Both syrups tasted great. I actually had cheesecake bar with 8 sauces and this gingerbread syrup was gone. I had an other jar in the fridge for a party the next day and somehow it went missing when everyone was leaving. Lol Glad it’s easy to make.
It’s also good in hot chocolate.

Really delicious. Serving for Christmas and took it for a trial run last night. Only problem was it went down so fast. Followed another’s suggestion swapping the ice cream for half-and-half to make it easier for serving throughout the day. It also cut down on the sweetness quite a bit.
Very very sweet. It’s like an alcoholic milkshake.
Very good for the holidays. Didn’t have vanilla ice cream so we substituted half and half and Smirnoff cake flavored vodka.
Yum ~ These are wonderful!!!!
