Frosty Holiday Cocktail with Kahlúa Gingerbread
Mark Thompson READ TIME: 2 MIN.
As you dream of sugar plum fairies and gingerbread houses for your holiday entertaining, don't forget the newly-released, limited-edition Kahl�a Gingerbread.
This new edition to the Kahl�a holiday line - which also includes Kahl�a Peppermint Mocha - is made from 100% Arabica coffee beans and sugar cane spirit with hints of everyone's favorite festive flavors like gingerbread, nutmeg, cinnamon and clove.
Whether served on its own or mixed into cocktails and coffee drinks, Kahl�a Gingerbread is sure to brighten anyone's spirit this holiday season.
Here's a bit of inspiration:
Kahl�a Cookie Martini
� part Kahl�a Gingerbread
1 � parts Absolut� Vodka
Combine ingredients in a cocktail shaker.
Add ice and shake.
Strain into a chilled martini glass.
Garnish with a cinnamon stick and enjoy.
And furthermore...
Just so you don't feel completely guilty about indulging in such decadent holiday splendor, Kahl�a has teamed up with One Warm Coat this season to support coat drives across the U.S.
Those who click the "Share the Warmth" button on Kahl�a's Facebook app will prompt Kahl�a to donate $1 to One Warm Coat, with a maximum goal of raising $100,000.
Drink for the warmth of another.
