Cinnamon Sugar (I use 3 parts sugar to one part cinnamon)
Honey
3 oz. half and half
1 oz. RumChata
1 oz. Vanilla Vodka (such as Absolut Vanilla)
½ tsp powdered sugar
Dash Cinnamon
Dip the rim of each martini glass into honey and then the cinnamon sugar. In a cocktail shaker, pour half and half, RumChata, Vanilla vodka, powdered sugar and cinnamon over ice. Shake until chilled and mixed well. Divide evenly among cinnamon sugar rimmed martini glasses and enjoy!
4. Gingerbread Cookie Cocktail
2 oz spiced rum

1/2 tsp ground cinnamon

Ginger beer
Ice
Cinnamon sugar (for the rim)
Add the rum, spices, molasses, maple syrup and freshly grated ginger to a shaker with 2 ice cubes. Shake it really really well. For the sugared rim, combine the ingredients in a small plate. Dip the rim of a glass in water, then in the spiced sugar mixture. Give the shaker another shake and strain into the sugar rimmed cup, add two cubes of ice and top with ginger beer. Give a quick stir and enjoy.
