Preparation: Step by Step to the Perfect Cocktail

Now that we know the ingredients, let's get started with the preparation. Follow these simple steps to perfectly mix Santa's Nightcap:

Step 1: Prepare the Glass

For the ultimate taste experience, we begin with the preparation of the glass.

Put some hazelnut cream on a saucer and coconut flakes on another.
Dip the rim of the glass into the hazelnut cream first, so that the entire rim is covered.
Then, dip the hazelnut cream rim into the coconut flakes. The decorative hazelnut-coconut rim is ready.

Step 2: Mix the Ingredients

Put all the ingredients – dark rum, amaretto liqueur, gingerbread syrup, lime juice, cherry juice, and egg white – into a shaker.
Add some ice cubes and shake the mix vigorously until everything is well blended and chilled.

Step 3: Serve the Cocktail

Carefully fill the prepared glass with fresh ice cubes, without damaging the hazelnut-coconut rim.
Pour the cocktail through a bar strainer into the glass to keep the ice cubes back.
Finally, grate a little nutmeg over the cocktail for that extra touch of festivity.
