Things You’ll Need

2. Add the spices.
Mix in the ground nutmeg and cinnamon until they are well mixed.

Helpful Tips
- Use cold eggnog: Putting your eggnog in the fridge before you drink it makes it smooth and refreshing.
- Don’t forget the garnish! A little cinnamon and nutmeg on top makes this dish taste and feel even better.
- Make your drinks stronger by adding more Baileys or even spiced rum.
- For kids, leave out the Baileys and make a tasty mocktail with just eggnog and whipped cream!
- Make a lot of it: For parties, double or triple the recipe. Everyone will love it.
Changes and substitutions
- For a different twist, use Kahlúa or spiced rum instead of Baileys.
- For a vegan option, use dairy-free eggnog and Baileys Almande.
- For a holiday treat that tastes like coffee, add a splash of espresso!
Tips for Making Ahead
Mix the eggnog and Baileys together before you need them, and then put them in the fridge. Add the garnishes fresh and stir before serving.
Leftovers and how to store them
- You can keep leftover Baileys eggnog in the fridge for up to two days in an airtight container. Before serving, mix well.
- If you’re going to store it, don’t add the whipped cream on top. It’s better to add it fresh.

You can easily bring the holidays into your home with Baileys Eggnog and a few simple ingredients. It’s smooth and dreamy, and it always goes over well at parties.
