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 or nutmeg
Instructions
- Add all ingredients to a cocktail shaker with ice and shake vigorously until frothy and well chilled – for 15-30 seconds. Strain into a glass and top with more cinnamon or nutmeg, and a coffee bean or two if desired.
- 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
