Tips & Serving Suggestions
You can mix the Amaretto and eggnog ahead of time and keep them in the fridge for up to a day. For the best fizz, add prosecco just before serving.
The bubbles in the prosecco make this cocktail taste best when it’s fresh. If you have extra Amaretto and eggnog mix, keep it in the fridge for up to 24 hours. When you’re ready to serve, add prosecco.
Keep your prosecco and eggnog cold for a perfectly refreshing spritz.
Shake Without Prosecco: For the best creamy mix, shake the Amaretto and eggnog first, then add the prosecco to keep the bubbles.
Make it look nice by using fresh nutmeg and a high-quality orange peel as a garnish. It’s worth it!
Lighten It Up: If you don’t like your drinks as rich, you can replace half of the eggnog with regular milk or almond milk.
Serving a lot of people? Increase the recipe, mix it in a pitcher, and add prosecco just before serving.
Use almond nog or oat nog instead of eggnog if you don’t want dairy.
If you want a nutty twist on amaretto, try hazelnut liqueur instead.
If you don’t want to drink alcohol, you can use non-alcoholic amaretto syrup and sparkling water instead of prosecco.
