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. 

Ginger Snap, Inspired by Santa Claus is Coming to Town

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

Enjoy!
