Boozy Eggnog Latte

Embrace the warmth of the holiday season with this delightful Boozy Eggnog Latte. Combining the creamy richness of eggnog with the robust flavor of strong coffee, this drink is elevated by a splash of your favorite spirit—whether it be smooth rum, rich bourbon, or velvety brandy. Perfect for cozy gatherings or a quiet evening by the fire, this festive latte is a comforting embrace in a mug. Historically, eggnog has its origins in medieval Britain, where it was served as a warm drink of milk, eggs, and spices, evolving over centuries into the beloved holiday treat we savor today.

Serves 1

Ingredients

Eggnog
1 cup
Strong coffee or espresso
1/2 cup
Rum, bourbon, or brandy
1-2 ounces
Nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon, freshly grated (plus extra for garnish)
Whipped cream
1/4 cup

Instructions

  1. In a saucepan over medium heat, gently warm the eggnog until steaming but not boiling, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking.
  2. While the eggnog is warming, brew your strong coffee or espresso. Aim for a rich flavor that will balance the creaminess of the eggnog.
  3. In a large mug, combine the warm eggnog and brewed coffee or espresso, stirring well to blend the flavors.
  4. Add in your choice of spirit, whether it be rum, bourbon, or brandy, and stir to combine. Adjust the quantity to your taste preference.
  5. Top your latte with a generous dollop of whipped cream, creating a lovely contrast to the warm drink.
  6. Finish with a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg on top for a fragrant, festive touch.
  7. Serve immediately, and enjoy the comforting flavors of the season.

Tips

  • 💡 For a non-alcoholic version, simply omit the spirit and consider adding a dash of vanilla extract for extra flavor.
  • 💡 Experiment with flavored whipped cream or a flavored syrup (like vanilla or caramel) for added sweetness.
  • 💡 Make it a dairy-free delight by using almond milk or coconut milk eggnog.
