Equipment

  • Cocktail shaker
  • Strainer
  • Measuring jigger or shot glass
  • Spoon
  • Short tumbler or rocks glass
  • Small plate
  • Grater or zester

Ingredients

  • 2 oz chilled eggnog
  • 1.5 oz vodka plain or vanilla
  • 0.5 oz coffee liqueur or amaretto optional
  • ice cubes
  • ground nutmeg or cinnamon for garnish
  • whipped cream optional, for topping
  • crushed peppermint candy optional, for garnish

Instructions

  • Fill your cocktail shaker halfway with ice.
  • Pour in the eggnog, vodka, and coffee liqueur or amaretto if using.
  • Shake for about 10-15 seconds until well chilled.

Notes

Fresh eggnog—homemade or store-bought—tastes best. Amaretto or vanilla vodka adds sweetness, while cinnamon on top gives a nice kick. Italian eggnog offers a richer flavor. Peppermint on the rim is festive, and whipped cream adds indulgence.
