Eggnog Cocktail

'Tis the season for celebration and what better to toast with than delicious eggnog.  I love to have this beverage during this time of year, it's definitely decadent and I can only handle it in moderation.  Last night while pouring over an early Christmas gift from my dad (The Hoosier Mama Book of Pie....sooooooooo good) I decided to sip on this delicious eggnog cocktail.  The recipe below yields one full martini but I split it between two smaller glasses and shared with my roomie.  Cheers!

In a martini shaker fill half way with ice and pour the liquid ingredients over. Place the lid on and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds.  When the whole shaker feels cool you know the drink is ready.  Pour the contents into glasses and grate the piece of nutmeg over the contents and serve

I chilled the cups in the freezer for about five minutes before using, this helps keep the beverage nice and cool while you enjoy!
