It’s that time of year—the most wonderful time, some say—and between the parties you’re hosting and the marshmallows you’re roasting, you might think you want to build a gingerbread house. They’re cute! They’re made out of cookies and candy! What could possibly go wrong? Turns out, making gingerbread houses isn’t as easy as it sounds. After the roof collapses in for the fourth time or one of your walls collapse, you’ll need something stronger than hot cocoa. This Gingerbread Martini has all the taste of the holidays without the stress.
