Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 oz Vodka (or Bourbon)
  • 1 oz Freshly Brewed Espresso (cooled)
  • 2 oz Eggnog (store-bought or homemade)
  • 0.5 oz Coffee Liqueur (like Kahlúa or Tia Maria)
  • Ice
  • Grated Nutmeg, Cinnamon Stick, or Star Anise (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Chill Your Martini Glass: Place your martini glass in the freezer for at least 5 minutes to get it nice and cold. A chilled glass makes all the difference!
  • Combine Ingredients in a Shaker: Fill a cocktail shaker with ice. Add the vodka (or bourbon), cooled espresso, eggnog, and coffee liqueur.
  • Shake Well: Secure the lid on the shaker and shake vigorously for 15-20 seconds. You want everything to be well-chilled and combined. Shaking it hard also gives it that nice frothy texture.
  • Strain and Pour: Remove your martini glass from the freezer. Strain the contents of the shaker into the chilled glass, leaving the ice behind.
  • Garnish and Serve: Garnish with freshly grated nutmeg, a cinnamon stick, or a star anise. Serve immediately and enjoy!
