Ingredients

Drink Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup eggnog
  • 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • Whipped cream for topping
  • Ground nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Ingredients: In a shaker, pour 1/2 cup eggnog, 1/4 cup Baileys Irish Cream, and 1/4 cup milk. Add ice to fill the shaker about halfway to chill the mixture effectively.
  2. Shake Gently: Secure the lid and shake the mixture gently for about 10-15 seconds to combine the flavors and chill the drink without diluting it too much.
  3. Strain and Serve: Strain the chilled mixture into serving glasses to ensure a smooth texture without ice shards.
  4. Garnish: Top each glass with a generous dollop of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of ground nutmeg for aroma and added festive flavor.

Notes

  • Use whole milk or cream for a richer texture.
  • Shake gently to avoid over-diluting the drink with melted ice.
  • Adjust Baileys amount to taste for stronger or lighter alcohol content.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit Baileys and add extra milk or vanilla extract.
  • Serve immediately to enjoy the best flavor and texture.
