'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!
The lovely note that reads on my kitchen chalkboard!
Ingredients;
1oz Cognac or Brandy
1oz Amaretto (Almond Liqueur)
1oz Eggnog
Freshly Grated Nutmeg
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!
Happy Holidays!
