Notes
This recipe is alcohol free, but you can easily add a boozy twist! Stir a tablespoon or two of Kahlua, Baileys, or spiced rum into the espresso mixture if desired.
Use homemade or store-bought gingersnaps, store-bought ones are extra crispy, hold up well to the espresso, and make this super quick!
- Use strong coffee if needed: Don’t have espresso? Brew a small batch of extra-strong coffee (like French press) for the same bold flavor.
- Make it ahead: these cups can be covered and stored in the fridge for several hours, if you need to make them prior to a dinner or event.
- Finish with flair: Just before serving, dust with extra cinnamon or cinnamon sugar. Top with extra crushed gingersnaps.
