Tips & Variations
- Chill Your Glass: Put your glass in the freezer for a few minutes before you make the drink. This will keep it nice and cool.
- Pour the eggnog over the back of a spoon to gently layer it on top of the coffee liqueur. This will give it a nice, divided look.
- Add a seasonal touch by rimming your glass with cinnamon sugar before creating the drink.
- For a fun, alcohol-free treat, replace the vodka and coffee liqueur with chocolate milk or decaf coffee.
- Use Fresh Nutmeg: If you have it, freshly grated nutmeg really changes the taste and smell!
- For a distinct flavor, use rum or bourbon instead of vodka.
- If you don’t want to eat dairy, use non-dairy eggnog.
- For more flavor, add a little vanilla essence.
- If you don’t have coffee liqueur, use cold brew concentrate with a little sugar.
Storage & Serving Ideas
You can mix the vodka, coffee liqueur, and eggnog together in a pitcher and put it in the fridge until you’re ready to serve it. Before pouring over ice, give it a quick stir!
You should make this cocktail fresh, but if you have any leftover eggnog, vodka, and coffee liqueur, you can keep it in the fridge for up to two days. Before serving, just whisk well.
