Preparation

Step 1: Make the Gingerbread Syrup

In a small saucepan, combine water, sugar, molasses, ginger, and cinnamon. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring until the sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat and let cool before using.

Step 2: Prepare the Gelatin Mixture

In a large mixing bowl, sprinkle the unflavored gelatin over ½ cup cold water and let it sit for 2 minutes to bloom.

Step 3: Dissolve the Gelatin

Pour in 2 cups boiling water and whisk until the gelatin is completely dissolved.

Step 4: Add Liquor and Syrup

Stir in the Irish cream liqueur, butterscotch schnapps, vodka, and ¼ cup of the gingerbread syrup. Mix well.

Step 5: Pour and Set

Carefully pour the mixture into shot glasses or silicone molds. Refrigerate for 3-4 hours or until fully set.

Step 6: Garnish and Serve

Before serving, top each shot with whipped cream and gingerbread man sprinkles for a festive touch.
