Hi Y’all! Happy Monday & Christmas vacation to many of you! I wanted to share my fav Eggnog Martini to inspire some Christmas cheer!
This recipe is one of my holiday favorites, we have made some variation of it for years. My mom always made it with spiced rum, nutmeg, cinnamon and Amarula, but Colin and I played around with some vodka combos this weekend we LOVE it!
This is such a fun and pretty cocktail to get you in the Christmas spirit, wow your family if you’re able to gather safely, or make during a virtual happy hour.
Alright, let’s get into it – keep scrolling!
The Ingredients:
- 6 oz. eggnog – if you are Canadian and live close to a Kawartha Dairy this is the one you need to buy! By FAR the best I’ve ever had!
- 2 oz. vodka – vanilla vodka would be delicious if you have some.
- 1 oz. amaretto – we used Disaronno
- 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
For Garnish:
- sprinkle of nutmeg
- agave
- candy cane
Instructions:
- Rim your glass with agave and candy cane. I use two plates for this, one for the agave to rim your glass and then one with the candy cane to roll the edge of the glass. Set your glasses aside.
- Fill your martini shaker with ice.
- Add the eggnog, vodka, amaretto and nutmeg to the glass.
- Shake vigorously until well chilled, approximately 25 seconds.
- Carefully pour between the two glasses and lightly dust each with nutmeg.
- Sit back & enjoy!
Wishing you all the a safe and happy holiday with your loved ones!
