Ginger Snap Cocktail

The classic Christmas special Santa Claus Is Coming to Town portrays Kris Kringle as a ginger. His memorably red mop of hair inspired us to create this Ginger Snap Cocktail, a brew that warms you with its temperature as well as its delicious blend of spices.

If the little ones want to join in, match a batch without the rum. It’s perfectly lovely without the spirits.

Enjoy!
