Gingerbread Simple Syrup
Start by adding sugar and water to a pot on the stove. Heat on medium heat stirring occasionally until the sugar is melted.
Then you will add in the cinnamon, molasses, and ginger.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, until fully mixed well, and you can smell the spices well.

Notes
Gingerbread Syrup - You will have leftover gingerbread syrup, and you can use that for flavoring coffee, baking with it, etc. Jello Shot Storage - Store your shots in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. I find these are best to be eaten within the first 2 days of being made.
