Notes
- Swap rum for bourbon or brandy to create a unique twist on the classic eggnog cocktail.
- Use homemade eggnog for a richer, more authentic flavor that elevates the entire drink experience.
- Chill your glass beforehand to keep the cocktail extra cold and maintain its smooth, creamy texture throughout sipping.
- For a lighter version, substitute low-fat eggnog and reduce the amount of liqueur to cut down on calories without sacrificing taste.
