Tips for Making the BEST Cocktails

• Chill Your Ingredients: For the creamiest and most refreshing cocktail, ensure the eggnog and bourbon are well chilled before mixing.
• Choose Your Eggnog Wisely: Homemade eggnog adds a luxurious touch, but a high-quality store-bought version works just as well.
• Experiment with Ratios: Prefer a stronger bourbon kick? Add an extra splash to suit your taste. For a milder drink, increase the eggnog slightly.
• Add a Garnish: Consider garnishing with a sprinkle of nutmeg, a cinnamon stick, or even a mini gingerbread cookie for an extra festive flair.
• Batch for Parties: Multiply the recipe and prepare in a pitcher for easy serving at gatherings. Just stir before pouring into individual glasses.
• Enjoy your cocktail and don’t forget to drink responsibly. Cheers!

Ingredients and Substitutions

• Bourbon: The smoky, caramel notes of bourbon pair beautifully with the eggnog and gingerbread syrup. Substitute with dark rum for a slightly different flavor profile or use a non-alcoholic bourbon alternative for a zero-proof version.
• Gingerbread Coffee Syrup: Adds the iconic seasonal spice flavour. If unavailable, substitute with a mix of simple syrup and a dash of ground ginger, cinnamon, and clove.
• Eggnog: Creamy and rich, eggnog is the foundation of this cocktail. For a dairy-free version, opt for almond or oat-based eggnog.
