Extremely tasty without being too sweet. Spectacular cocktail for winter season in a town with 4 apple orchards. A quick dip of honey is great to attach the crumbs - too much and it drips unattractively down the side of the glass. What's nicest about this drink is that you can enjoy one or two before dinner, drink wine with your meal and still stand up at the end.

Used dark spiced rum in place of the vanilla vodka - even more of a gingerbread feel.

Better with bourbon rather than vodka. Adds complexity and interest.

I did not like this cocktail. I made as written, including purchasing the vanilla vodka. It was overly sweet and not particularly complex. Mostly tasted of apple cider. The rim would have been better made with lemon than honey, which dropped and added to the sweetness.

This is a delicious cocktail that I enjoyed while passing out Halloween candy. The ginger was a little forward so on my seconded, I reduced the ginger liquor to 1.5 oz and increased the vodka to 1.5 oz. I also think spiced rum would work really well.

Does 2 ounces Domaine de Canton ginger and cognac liqueur mean 2 ounces of Ginger Liqueur and 2 oz of Cognac?! Thanks for the clarification if you see this!

Ken

It's a single ingredient. Domaine de Canton uses cognac as its base.

Amazing! It’s a family favorite and is a great drink to ring in the beginning of Fall! 10/10
