ingredients
1 shot vanilla vodka
1 shot hazelnut liqueur (like Frangelico)
1/2 shot butterscotch schnapps
ice cubes, for shaker and glass
4 ounces ginger beer
1 dash dark rum
gingerbread man cookie, for garnish
directions
Combine the vanilla vodka, hazelnut liqueur, and butterscotch schnapps in a ice-filled cocktail shaker. Shake to chill. Strain the mixture into an ice-filled glass.
Top the cocktail with the ginger beer. Pour the dark rum over the back of a spoon to float it over the ginger beer layer.
Garnish the drink with a gingerbread man cookie.
Alternately, crush gingerbread cookies along with some granulated sugar. Use the crumbs to rim a cocktail or martini glass.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

The combination of ingredients might sound kind of odd, but this drink is delicious! I did have trouble trying to garnish the drink with a gingerbread man cookie so instead I crushed some and coated the rim of the glass with it. The drink isn't overly sweet thanks to the refreshing ginger beer in it. Use a good brand of ginger beer as it will affect the flavor. I like Fever Tree. I used whipped cream vodka instead of vanilla vodka, but the flavor is quite similar.

Had a tasting party for the ladies in my neighborhood that help host our annual Toys for Tots party. Every year we pick a different beverage to feature. This one is awesome!
