Ingredients
- 1 ounce eggnog
- 1 ounce spiced rum
- Cinnamon sticks (optional garnish)
- Ground nutmeg (optional garnish)
- Combine Ingredients: Add the eggnog and spiced rum to a cocktail shaker. If you don’t have a shaker, you can simply pour both ingredients directly into the shot glass, although the flavors won’t be as well blended.
- Mix the Drink: Secure the cocktail shaker lid and give it a couple of firm shakes to mix the eggnog and spiced rum thoroughly, blending the flavors together.
- Serve and Garnish: Pour the mixed eggnog shot into shot glasses. Garnish with a cinnamon stick and/or a light sprinkle of ground nutmeg to add a festive aroma and flavor.
Notes
- You can skip the shaker and just layer the ingredients, but shaking creates a smoother, more uniform flavor.
- For a non-alcoholic version, substitute spiced rum with an equal amount of additional eggnog or a non-alcoholic rum alternative.
- Adjust garnishes to your taste – a little more nutmeg or even a dash of cinnamon powder can enhance the experience.
- Serve chilled for the best flavor experience; you can refrigerate the eggnog beforehand for extra coolness.
- These shots are perfect for holiday parties or as a festive after-dinner treat.
