  • 6 oz Traditional Eggnog
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp Ground Cinnamon
  • Optional: Whipped Cream for topping

Instructions:

  1. Chill the Glasses: Begin by chilling your serving glass in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes. This will help keep your eggnog cool and refreshing.
  2. Mix the Ingredients: In a mixing bowl or shaker, combine the tequila and traditional eggnog. If you have a cocktail shaker, give it a good shake to mix well. Otherwise, a whisk or a spoon will do the job.
  3. Add the Spices: Sprinkle in the ground nutmeg and cinnamon. These spices are key to giving your Tequila Eggnog that quintessential holiday flavor.
  4. Serve: Pour the mixture into your chilled glass. The rich, creamy texture of the eggnog complemented by the smooth tequila makes for a delightful sip.
  5. Garnish: For an extra festive touch, top your Tequila Eggnog with a dollop of whipped cream and a light sprinkle of nutmeg or cinnamon.
  6. Enjoy: Sip and savor this unique holiday beverage. It’s a perfect blend of traditional eggnog richness with a modern tequila twist, ideal for holiday parties or a cozy night in.

Note: Always drink responsibly and adjust the proportions to suit your taste. For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the tequila and enjoy a spiced classic eggnog.
