Ingredients:

  • 4 fl oz Quality Prepared Egg Nog (chilled)
  • 5 fl oz Bourbon Whiskey, Aged Rum, or Brandy
  • 1/4 tsp Vanilla Extract (optional)
  • 1/2 fl oz Simple Syrup or Maple Syrup (optional)
  • Fresh Whole Nutmeg (for grating)
  • 1 Cinnamon Stick (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

  1. Chill the serving glass by placing it in the freezer or filling it with ice water while preparing the cocktail.
  2. Add the chilled Egg Nog, chosen spirit (Bourbon, Rum, or Brandy), vanilla extract, and optional simple syrup into the cocktail shaker.
  3. Fill the shaker 3/4 full with large, quality ice cubes.
  4. Shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds until the shaker is thoroughly frosted for a lighter, frothier texture, or gently stir for 30 seconds for a silkier texture.
  5. Discard the chilling ice water from the serving glass. Double-strain the cocktail into the chilled glass.
  6. Grate a generous amount of fresh nutmeg over the top of the drink immediately before serving. Add a cinnamon stick for visual appeal, if desired.
