Reviews
I’m sorry, but for a “Kid”tini, this is pretty ridiculous. What kid likes the taste of coffee, and what parent wants to be caffeinating their child? I was excited when I opened up this recipe, but someone should have thought this through a bit more. I do plan to try making the gingerbread simple syrup this fall and trying it in different recipes. Maybe with plain old milk and not coffee….
