I’d like to take this opportunity to welcome everyone to cocktail hour for The Book Blog Social Club’s Progressive Dinner Party.  As your hostess for this stop I want to wish you good tidings, I hope you enjoy mixing and mingling with your fellow bloggers over some amazingly tasty and refreshing holiday treats.  I imagine that your belly’s are quite content after taking a taste of the wonderful shrimp dip you were served at Joyfully Retired‘s stop just prior to mine.

For your enjoyment I’m sharing with you a Christmasy beverage I found by way of The Food Network:

Gingerbread Martini

1 oz. vanilla vodka
1 oz. hazelnut-flavored liqueur
1/2 oz. butterscotch schnapps
4 oz. ginger beer
ice cubes
dark rum
Gingerbread cookie

Instructions: Mix vanilla vodka, hazelnut liqueur, and butterscotch schnapps in a glass with ice and shake it well. Pour that fabulous concoction into either a highball or martini glass filled with ice. Top it all off with some ginger beer then pour a little dark rum over the back of a spoon to float it on top.

Slip a gingerbread cookie onto the rim of the glass for garnish and you got yourself a yummy sweet treat with a bit of a zing to it.
