What You’ll Need

Eggnog: Eggnog is the heart of this Christmas drink—it’s what brings the warm, cozy vibes with hints of cinnamon and nutmeg. It’s like the season in a glass.

Vodka: Use your go-to vodka, whether it’s a classic Russian brand or your trusty favorite. Plain vodka works best here, but if you’re feeling adventurous, try a non-sweetened flavored one to keep things balanced.

Kahlua: This coffee-flavored liqueur is the magic ingredient for a little sweetness and richness. It pairs perfectly with the creamy eggnog. Want to mix it up? Sub in Tia Maria or a cold brew coffee liqueur like Mr. Black for a subtle twist.

Ice cubes: Don’t underestimate the importance of good ice! Bigger cubes are best—they melt slower, keeping your drink cold without watering it down too fast. Bonus points for fun shapes!

Bar Tools

You don’t need a full bar setup for this, but a few tools can make life easier:

• Rocks glass: The perfect size for serving this drink over ice.
• Cocktail spoon: A long, slender spoon makes stirring around the ice a breeze.
• Measuring shot glass: Optional but great if you want an easy way to measure ounces.

How to Make It

1. Fill your rocks glass with ice.
2. Pour in your vodka and Kahlua.
3. Top it off with eggnog.
4. Stir gently to mix everything together.

For extra holiday flair, garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg. Add a cinnamon stick or even a candy cane for a stirrer. Feeling fancy? Rim your glass with a cinnamon-sugar blend before you start.

Fun Variations

Want to shake things up? Here are a few ways to customize your Eggnog White Russian:

• Less sweet: Use unsweetened coffee-infused rum or vodka in place of Kahlua.
• More coffee kick: Add a shot of cold brew or espresso for a richer flavor.
• Lighter option: Swap some (or all) of the Kahlua with cold brew coffee, use less vodka or add more nog for a less boozy version.

No matter how you mix it, this drink is all about enjoying the creamy, comforting flavors of the season. So go ahead, pour yourself a glass, and toast the holidays!
