Equipment

  • Medium mixing bowl
  • Whisk or electric hand mixer
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Small saucepan
  • Ladle
  • Serving glasses or mugs
  • Fine grater or microplane
  • Pitcher

Ingredients

  • 1 cup store-bought eggnog or homemade eggnog
  • 2 oz bourbon whiskey
  • 1 tbsp granulated sugar optional
  • 0.25 cup whole milk or heavy cream for extra creaminess
  • ice cubes optional, if served cold
  • ground cinnamon for garnish
  • freshly grated nutmeg for garnish
  • whipped cream optional

Instructions

  • Pour eggnog into a mixing bowl or shaker.
  • Add the bourbon whiskey.
  • Stir or whisk until it’s all mixed together.
  • Taste and add sugar if desired, stirring until dissolved.
  • For extra creaminess, stir in whole milk or cream.
  • If you like it cold, add ice cubes and stir.

Notes

Use fresh nutmeg for a warmer, more aromatic flavor. Adjust cream and bourbon to suit your preference. Store-bought eggnog makes this drink quick and easy for gatherings, while homemade gives more control over sweetness and texture.
