Description

This eggnog espresso martini with rum is a fancy, festive, homemade holiday cocktail that is so easy to love. Made with your favorite eggnog, rum (or whiskey or vodka!), coffee liqueur (we love Kahlua), cold brew, coffee, or espresso, vanilla, and cinnamon. The perfect spiked eggnog recipe to enjoy during the holiday season! Easily made dairy-free by using vegan eggnog. So much yum in one creamy cocktail!


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ounce dark spiced rum (or bourbon or vodka)
  • 1 ounce kahlua 
  • 1 ounce espresso or cold brew 
  • 3-4 ounces eggnog, depending on the size of your cocktail glass
  • 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract 
  • Pinch of salt
  • Dash of cinnamon and/or nutmeg


Instructions

  1. Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously until frothy and well chilled – at least 15-30 seconds. Strain into a coupe glass and top with more cinnamon and/or nutmeg, and a few coffee beans if desired. 
  2. This recipe could also be prepared the same way and served on the rocks. 

Notes

This recipe is for one cocktail, but some cocktail shakers could fit a double batch for cocktails for two!

You can adjust the amount of eggnog based on your preference and the size of your coupe glass. We used fairly large coupes, but if you’re using a smaller glass reduce the amount of eggnog slightly so it will fit. Or just save whatever is left in the shaker for a top off when you’re ready

If you don’t have a cocktail shaker or a strainer, this article has some awesome solutions for missing pieces for the home mixologist.
