A sweet and tangy sour that leaves a delightful, memorable impression, just like a perfectly managed cookie session.

Ingredients:

• 2 oz Spiced Rum (or Bourbon)
• 0.75 oz Fresh Lemon Juice
• 0.75 oz Gingerbread Syrup (or a combination of simple syrup & gingerbread spice)
• 1 Egg White (optional, for foam)
• Garnish: A small gingerbread cookie on the rim, or a sprinkle of cinnamon
• Ice

Instructions:

1. If using egg white, combine rum/bourbon, lemon juice, gingerbread syrup, and egg white in a shaker without ice. Dry shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds.
2. Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well chilled.
3. Strain into a chilled coupe or rocks glass.
4. Garnish with a small gingerbread cookie or a sprinkle of cinnamon.
