After trying Five Farms Irish Cream, I knew I had to make the Gingerbread Martini with their delicious liqueur.
Five Farms is exclusively sourced (and produced) in Ireland. Country Cork, Ireland to be exact.
Five family-owned farms source the cream and when combined with premium Irish Whiskey, it creates this amazing flavor of butterscotch, vanilla bean, caramel blend. A great adult dessert if I may say so myself.
Sip on it or make it into a cocktail, either way… it’s one you can’t pass up!

What You Need to Make A Gingerbread Martini Holiday Gift Basket
Martini Glasses
First and foremost, you need to get these cute martini glasses.
I got mine from Home Goods but you can get the same ones from Amazon!
Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur
This is the most important part of this whole basket! The delicious Five Farms Irish Cream Liqueur!
This liqueur helps blend all the flavors together making it really flavorful!
Caramel Sauce
I loved using this as part of the recipe. Especially this particular caramel sauce.
It’s a fav… don’t ask why, I just love it.
Adding some caramel swirls to the glass really made it pop too!
Gingerbread Cookie Cutters
Gingerbread cookie cutters are fun for both adults and kiddos so it’s a fun touch to this gift basket.
You can make your own cookies for this drink or use the cookie cutters to make Christmas cookies with your kids.
It’s a win-win.
Gingerbread Cookies
I got these little guys at Target but like I said above, you can definitely make your own to put on the drink.
They add the cutest little touch to the Gingerbread Martini!
Cocktail Shaker
A good cocktail shaker is an essential item to add to the Gingerbread Martini Holiday Gif Basket!
When you read the directions below, you’ll see it’s a key item to really blend the flavors together.
I have one similar to the one below.
Vodka
This is another alcohol we add to the Gingerbread Martini!
Shop for one at your local Liquor store!
Gingerbread Spice
You can either make or purchase gingerbread spice.
I made mine by combining:
- 2 tbsp. allspice
- 2 tbsp. cinamon
- 2 tbsp. ginger
- 1 tbsp. clove
- 1 tbsp. nutmeg
But if you don’t have all those ingredients, you can always purchase them below!
