Of all the many great tastes of Christmas, gingerbread has to be up there whether you are baking gingerbread trees or enjoying a seasonal latte.
And now Lidl is truly getting into the festive spirit with a gingerbread gin liqueur, brimming with all the warmth and spice one would expect from a freshly baked Christmas cookie.
This gin is part of their well-received Hortus range of gins, and costs a Secret Santa friendly price of £9.99 for a 50cl bottle. Being a gin liqueur, you won’t get quite as tiddly with a lower alcohol by volume (ABV) rating of 20 per cent.
Comforting flavours of ginger and cinnamon combine in a swirling snow globe of yumminess, best drank beside a crackling log fire. You will feel like a delicious and spangly Christmas tree is growing inside your belly.
Lidl has suggested enjoying this liqueur in a cocktail, mixing it with espresso and a dollop of single cream, before sprinkling with a light dusting of cocoa powder. Aah.
According to Good Housekeeping, Lidl’s Spirits Expert, Tristan Stephenson said:
Combine the gingerbread liqueur, coffee and cream in a cocktail shaker along with plenty of ice,
Shake together, and then strain into a chilled martini glass. Garnish with a dusting of cocoa powder and serve immediately.
This drink comes mere weeks after Lidl introduced their Hortus Plum and Cinnamon Gin Liqueur, which sounds like something straight out of a Christmas carol; bursting with plums, nutmeg, ginger, clove and cinnamon.
