Ingredients
Scale
Main Alcohol:
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) vodka
- 1 ounce (30 milliliters) coffee liqueur (such as Kahlúa)
Dairy and Eggnog:
- 2 ounces (60 milliliters) eggnog (store-bought or homemade)
Garnish and Additional:
- Ground nutmeg or cinnamon (for garnish)
- Ice
Instructions
- Chill a rocks glass by filling it completely with ice cubes to create a frosty foundation for the cocktail.
- Gently cascade vodka and coffee liqueur directly over the ice, allowing the spirits to mingle and create a rich base layer.
- Delicately stream eggnog on top, watching it create a luxurious swirling pattern through the darker liquors underneath.
- Dust the surface with a light sprinkle of freshly ground nutmeg, infusing the drink with a warm, festive aroma.
- Optional: Provide a subtle stir to integrate the layers, blending the creamy eggnog with the robust spirits for a harmonious taste experience.
Notes
- Choose fresh whole nutmeg and grate it directly over the cocktail for a more intense, aromatic flavor compared to pre-ground spices.
- Swap traditional eggnog with almond, oat, or coconut nog for a lactose-free or vegan-friendly version that maintains the creamy texture.
- Adjust the vodka and coffee liqueur ratio to suit personal taste preferences, making the drink stronger or lighter as desired.
- Prepare a batch of homemade eggnog in advance for a richer, more authentic holiday cocktail experience with deeper, fresher flavors.
