Why serve Santa milk and cookies when you can offer him spiked cookies in jello shot form?! With these festive Gingerbread People Jello Shots, the red-suited jolly, old man may even stick around until Spring.
We had so much fun creating these delicious alcoholic treats! We did have a hard time finding Gingerbread Syrup but it is crucial in making these taste so good. The bottle can be purchased on amazon or in the coffee syrup aisle.
If you cannot locate a bottle of Gingerbread Syrup you can make your own.
Take 1 cup water, 1 cup sugar, and a 1/4 cup chopped fresh ginger. Heat in a saucepan until the sugar dissolves and it comes to a boil. Strain out ginger pieces.
Put out these cut out shots with some icing and sprinkles so nearby guests can decorate them before eating!
