The gingerbread martini was one of my favourite sweet Christmas cocktails for a long time. As I approached the holidays, I wondered if I would be able to make a keto-friendly version. It took some doing, but I made it happen.
Admittedly, you have to make a lot of your own ingredients to pull this off so it's not something you can just do off the cuff. Since it's the holidays, you're more likely to already have the homemade liqueurs ready to go, same for the gingerbread cookies and ice cream. So yeah, this drink is pretty much reserved for the Christmas season, but hey, it's okay to have things that are reserved for special occaions.
