Ingredients

Liquids

  • 1/2 cup vanilla vodka
  • 1/4 cup eggnog
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream

Garnish

  • Nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a cocktail shaker, add 1/2 cup vanilla vodka, 1/4 cup eggnog, and 1/4 cup heavy cream along with ice to chill the mixture thoroughly.
  2. Shake Well: Secure the shaker lid and vigorously shake the mixture for about 15-20 seconds until fully combined and nicely chilled.
  3. Strain and Serve: Strain the creamy cocktail evenly into chilled martini glasses to avoid ice shards in the drink.
  4. Garnish: Finish by sprinkling freshly grated nutmeg on top of each martini to add a warm, festive aroma and subtle spice.

Notes

  • Use chilled glasses for the best serving experience.
  • Adjust sweetness by choosing sweetened or unsweetened eggnog depending on preference.
  • For a lighter version, substitute heavy cream with half-and-half or milk.
  • Freshly grated nutmeg enhances flavor compared to pre-ground nutmeg.
  • Shake well to achieve a frothy, creamy texture and proper blending of ingredients.
  • Can be made ahead and refrigerated, but shake again before serving.
