Notes
If you like your drink sweeter, add more syrup. Adjust the gingerbread syrup to find your perfect balance.
You can also use bourbon instead of rum for a different taste. To make this drink non-alcoholic, just skip the rum and itβll still be tasty!
Experiment with different spices like clove or allspice to suit your taste preferences.
