Gingerbread Toddy

DIY Cocktails and I made a new fall cocktail. It’s a twist on the Hot Toddy called the Gingerbread Toddy.
First we made gingerbread syrup and then we mixed it in with bourbon, hot water, and a little bit of lemon. The result is cozy drink that’s perfect for sipping in front of a roaring fire. And yes, it tastes just like gingerbread.
The syrup took only a few minutes to make and would be great in other things too. I’m going to use a bit tomorrow morning when I’m making coffee and try out my own Gingerbread Latte.
