Ingredients
Scale
Liquids
- 1 ounce vodka
- 2 ounces Kahlua
- 3 ounces eggnog
Garnish
- Ground nutmeg
- Whipped cream (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Glass: Fill a glass with ice to chill and prepare it for the cocktail.
- Add Spirits: Pour 1 ounce of vodka and 2 ounces of Kahlua over the ice in the glass.
- Add Eggnog: Slowly add 3 ounces of eggnog to the glass, creating a creamy base.
- Mix the Cocktail: Stir gently until all ingredients are thoroughly combined for a smooth blend.
- Garnish: Sprinkle ground nutmeg on top and optionally add a dollop of whipped cream to enhance richness.
- Alternative Serving: To keep whipped cream from separating, combine the cocktail ingredients in an ice-filled shaker, shake gently, then strain into a glass without ice before topping with whipped cream.
Notes
- Adjust the proportions of vodka, Kahlua, and eggnog to suit your taste preferences.
- Using a cocktail shaker when incorporating whipped cream helps maintain its texture by preventing it from mixing with melting ice.
- Ground nutmeg adds a warm, festive aroma and flavor but can be omitted if preferred.
- Eggnog provides richness and creaminess; using fresh or store-bought eggnog works well.
