This drink was inspired by my Christmas market trip through Europe last year - we started in Amsterdam, and then headed around Germany to take in tons of market cheer.

What are Stroopwafels?
Stroopwafels - just like the ones United Airlines serves on some flights - are thin Dutch cookies that are a bit like a cross between a crepe, a waffle, and a cookie.
The cookies are thin, but cooked on a waffle-style iron, and served with melted caramel sandwiched between two cookies.
In Amsterdam, stroopwafels are sold in tons of shops and on stands throughout the city and in markets - you can also get them dipped in chocolate!
Stroopwafels are an amazing treat - and something you MUST sample when visiting Amsterdam!
If you’re stateside, you can order them in bulk - my husband likes to pop them in the microwave for a few seconds to warm them up, and I love to dunk them in coffee or tea.
Visiting Amsterdam
Head to Albert Cuyp to browse the market stalls, pop into the adorable shops, get some amazing frites - and of course, hot, delicious, perfectly melty stroopwafels!
I love watching them make stroopwaffles in the market - it’s cool to see them come together, especially as they are dipped in chocolate.
Albert Cuyp is great for people watching, and a short stroll from many parts of the city.
When we visited, we stayed at the Kimpton - it is gorgeous, has a fabulous bar, and reasonably priced valet parking.
What Vodka to Use
You can use any vodka you like for this cocktail - but we love adding different flavored vodkas in this mixed drink to add different notes.
I am calling for Smirnoff Kissed Caramel vodka - but you can use vanilla, whipped cream, cake, or or just plain vodka, too!
