I am quite the fan of Eggnog (as well as its coconut-y cousin, Coquito), so once it hits December, I am up for any excuse to have a little sip of it!
The Mixer, a website with recipes for cocktail making for all occasions, must know of my affinity for eggnog, because they sent me a recipe for an Eggnog Martini that I just had to try and share!
This recipe is quick and easy because it uses store-bought eggnog. To make it even more simple, stir up a large batch so when you’re ready to enjoy with friends, all you have to do is pour it into glasses!
Eggnog is synonymous with the holidays, so I wanted to share The Mixer’s recipe ASAP so you can enjoy it with friends and family as well!
Ingredients (serves 2, multiply as needed):
For cinnamon sugar rim garnish:
- 1 tablespoon eggnog
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- pinch nutmeg
For the Eggnog Martini:
- 3 oz vanilla vodka
- 2 oz amaretto
- 4 oz eggnog
- ice
To garnish your glasses, pour 1 tablespoon eggnog into a shallow bowl or plate. On a separate plate, add the sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg.
Stir together, using a fork, until fully combined.
Dip the rim of the martini glass (or glass of your choosing) into the eggnog.
Then dip the same glass into the cinnamon sugar.
Repeat with your remaining glass.
To make the eggnog martini, fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add in the vanilla vodka, amaretto, and eggnog.
Add the top to the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously until chilled and creamy. Strain into the prepared glasses and serve.
Oh, this is delightful. Boozy, and delightful!
If you’re more of a bourbon fan, I bet this would be just as tasty substituted for the vanilla vodka.
