HAPPY HOLIDAYS!

It’s time for a little cocktail to bring you a little (or a lot) of holiday spirit.

As you all know, I’m a HUGE fan of all things eggnog, especially if that eggnog is aged eggnog and or used in this eggnog martini.

Yeah, I’m a huge fan.

Plus, I feel Christmas isn’t Christmas without eggnog.

I grew up looking forward to the “nog” yearly because it’s a strict seasonal drink. You can’t very well be drinking eggnog in July.

I don’t think you could even find eggnog in July if you tried.

You could make it, but I can’t imagine drinking a big glass of nog and hopping in the pool.

Eggnog Martini Ingredients:

• Eggnog – Since this is the bulk of our cocktail, use your favorite non-alcoholic eggnog. Feel free to use any dairy-free options in the store if you’re dairy-free.
• Vanilla vodka – This vodka has been infused with vanilla beans. It can be easily found in most large liquor stores.
• Amaretto – This is a sweet almond-flavored liqueur. A popular brand of amaretto is Disaronno.

What is eggnog? 

Eggnog is a traditional milk punch made out of eggs, milk, sugar, and typically spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon. 

Traditionally, eggnog was made with raw eggs, but it’s more common now to use pasteurized eggs. You can also cook the eggnog, so you do not have to worry about issues with consuming raw eggs. 

Where can I find eggnog?

In the United States, around Christmastime, you can find eggnog very easily in almost any grocery store. 

In fact, it’s so common that there are at least seven different options in my grocery store, ranging from vanilla-flavored eggnog to rum-flavored eggnog to dairy-free eggnog.
