    Gingerbread Brandy Milk Punch (vegan)

    This post is shared as part of Boulder Locavore’s ongoing partnership with Silk, exploring healthy lifestyles choices and exciting plant-based dietary options.  All opinions are my own.

    I always look forward to the signature flavors of the holiday season. I’ve been making egg nog from scratch since I was in Junior High from the Betty Crocker kids cookbook. My neighbor down the street, Paul, was addicted. He’d come over after school almost daily and begged for us to make egg nog. He also liked to dissect planaria worms on my Ethan Allen yellow Formica topped bedroom furniture to watch them regenerate too but that’s another story.

    I found an adult recipe for egg nog in my Great Grandmother’s recipe box which I shared a few years ago. After making it I renamed it ‘Designated Driver Required Egg Nog’. Clearly Grammy and her social set liked to party. Now with Uber it’s a great recipe for a holiday party.

    Glogg, a Scandanavian mulled wine, is another seasonal sipper for sitting by a roaring fire. Wassail, which I’m sure you know from the Christmas carol, is fun. I have a recipe that my brother brought home from school in second grade which his teacher marked as ‘ok’. I’m not sure why the recipe card only warranted an ‘ok’. I mean, wouldn’t a holiday recipe be ‘jolly’ or ‘festive’? In any case it’s a festive holiday drink which is not alcoholic though can be spiked for those so interested.

    Gingerbread is definitely one of my favorite flavors. Gingerbread Cake with Butter Rum Toffee Sauce  is a blow the roof off dessert, packed with flavor. Making gingerbread cookies is a signature holiday tradition. I’m partial to these Gender-Neutral Gluten-Free Gingerbread People Cookies which were developed years ago out of post traumatic stress when learning my mother and her friends drink wine and make gingerbread people with all their correct bits and pieces, if you catch my drift.

    Gingerbread Brandy Milk Punch is a spin on traditional brandy milk punch which is often served to celebrate Mardi Gras. This holiday tipple is made with sweetened almond milk which is a perfect partner to the wintery spices infused into it. Being vegan, the cocktail offers entertaining coverage for those preferring a dairy-free option.

    Silk Vanilla Almond Milk is heated with fresh ginger, cinnamon sticks, cloves, allspice berries and nutmeg and allowed to sit to infuse the warming flavors. The infused milk is shaken with some brandy and coffee liqueur, poured over ice and garnished with grated nutmeg. It’s refreshing and a tasty sip of the holidays.

    Home-infused vanilla almond milk creates a wonderfully spiced base for these Gingerbread Brandy Milk Punch cocktails. Along with brandy and coffee liqueur and you have something unique for entertaining which is also dairy-free and vegan. The bulk of the total recipe time represents the cooling/infusing time for the spiced milk.

      So, we just had some coffee shop gingerbread coffee drinks that we terrible. I think I need to try this to restore my faith that gingerbread can, indeed, be tasty served as a drink. It does look good!
