Combining rich eggnog, smooth vanilla vodka, and luscious heavy cream, it delivers a velvety texture and comforting flavors.

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, pour 1/2 cup of vanilla vodka, 1/4 cup of eggnog, and 1/4 cup of heavy cream. Add ice to fill the shaker halfway to chill the mixture effectively.
  2. Shake Well: Secure the shaker lid and shake vigorously for about 15-20 seconds. This chills and blends the ingredients to create a smooth and creamy cocktail.
  3. Strain and Serve: Strain the mixture evenly into chilled martini glasses to separate from the ice and ensure a silky texture.
  4. Garnish: Lightly sprinkle freshly grated or ground nutmeg on top of each martini to enhance the flavor with a warm, spicy aroma ideal for the Christmas season.

Notes

  • Use good-quality vanilla vodka and fresh eggnog for the best flavor.
  • Chill the martini glasses ahead of time for a cooler presentation.
  • You can adjust the amount of heavy cream for a lighter or richer texture.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the vodka with vanilla-flavored almond milk or milk.
  • Grated nutmeg works better than pre-ground for a fresher garnish.
