Preparation

Step 1: Prepare the Glass. Fill an old-fashioned glass or rocks glass with ice cubes to chill the drink. This will help keep the flavors bold without diluting them too quickly.

Step 2: Add the Coffee Liqueur. Pour 1 oz of coffee liqueur over the ice, creating a rich base layer for the cocktail. The coffee flavor will balance the sweetness of the eggnog.

Step 3: Add the Vodka. Pour 1 oz of vodka over the coffee liqueur. This will add a subtle strength to the drink without overpowering the creaminess of the eggnog.

Step 4: Top with Eggnog. Slowly pour 2 oz of eggnog into the glass, letting it settle over the vodka and coffee liqueur for a layered effect. Use a spoon to gently stir if you prefer a fully mixed drink.

Step 5: Garnish and Serve. Sprinkle a pinch of ground nutmeg or cinnamon on top for a festive touch, and add whipped cream if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Variations

Spiced Eggnog White Russian: Add a dash of cinnamon and nutmeg directly into the cocktail for an extra layer of spice. This will enhance the holiday flavors of the drink.

Vanilla Eggnog White Russian: Use vanilla-flavored vodka or add a splash of vanilla extract to the mix for a hint of sweetness and warmth.

Coconut Eggnog White Russian: Replace the vodka with coconut rum for a tropical twist on this holiday classic. Coconut pairs surprisingly well with both eggnog and coffee liqueur.

Chocolate Eggnog White Russian: Add 1/2 oz of chocolate liqueur or a dash of cocoa powder to make this cocktail even richer and indulgent.
