The spicy-sweet aroma of gingerbread syrup will evoke memories of Christmas platters full of gingerbread cookies. Ingredients: 45 mL Maker’s Mark 15 mL gingerbread syrup 45 mL apple juice 10 mL lemon juice Directions: Combine all ingredients in a tin shaker. Add ice and shake until ice cold. Strain into a coupette. Garnish with apple slices in a cocktail stick. Serve with a gingerbread cookie.
