Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 cup eggnog (store-bought or homemade)
- 1 tbsp maple syrup
- ¼ tsp cinnamon
- ⅛ tsp nutmeg
- Ice
Garnish
- Whipped cream
- Nutmeg for garnish
Instructions
- Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, pour 1 cup of eggnog, add 1 tablespoon of maple syrup, ¼ teaspoon of cinnamon, and ⅛ teaspoon of nutmeg. Add a generous amount of ice to the shaker to chill the mixture thoroughly.
- Shake: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously until the mixture is well combined, frothy, and chilled, usually about 20-30 seconds.

- Garnish: Sprinkle a pinch of nutmeg over the whipped cream to add an aromatic, festive finish before serving immediately.
Notes
- For a dairy-free version, substitute almond or oat milk for the eggnog.
- For an indulgent twist, add a shot of espresso to create a holiday “eggnog latte.”
