In a cocktail shaker, combine the vodka, coffee liqueur, chocolate syrup, vanilla extract, simple syrup, and ground ginger. Shake vigorously to mix the ingredients thoroughly.
Add ice to the shaker and shake again until well-chilled.
Strain the mixture into a glass.
Slowly pour the heavy cream over the cocktail to create a layered effect.
Add a dollop of whipped cream on top, and garnish with a crushed candy cane or a mini candy cane on the rim.
Serve immediately and enjoy this festive, dessert-like cocktail.
Notes
Pro Tips
For a stronger ginger flavor, adjust the ginger to taste or use freshly grated ginger.
Chill the glass beforehand to keep the drink cold longer.
To make it even more decadent, drizzle chocolate syrup on the inside of the glass before pouring the cocktail.
