Notes

  • Use fresh eggnog for the best flavor and creamy texture.
  • Gingerbread syrup can be homemade or store-bought; ginger syrup is a fine substitute if gingerbread syrup is unavailable.
  • Adjust the amount of spiced rum to taste for a stronger or lighter alcoholic content.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, omit the spiced rum and add extra gingerbread syrup.
  • Chill the glass beforehand for an extra cold serving experience.
