Ingredients
- course sparkly sugar
- 2 cups eggnog very cold - use homemade eggnog or your favorite from the store
- ½ cup brandy chilled
- ½ cup almond flavored liqueur chilled - I used Amaretto Di Saronno®
- 3 large scoops frozen vanilla ice cream
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ground cinnamon for garnish
Instructions
- Rim martini glasses with sugar crystals. A quick and easy way is to dip a clean finger into a cup of water, shake off the excess, and run your fingertip around the rim. Then immediately dip the rim in a small plate of sugar.
- In a blender, combine eggnog, brandy, almond liqueur, ice cream, and nutmeg until smooth.
- Pour into sugar rimmed glasses. Garnish with a sprinkling of cinnamon and serve immediately.
Notes
- I highly recommend that you place the brandy and almond liqueur in the refrigerator to chill the day before making these cocktails - or place in freezer for an hour or two. This will ensure an extra chilled drink. If you like your drinks even colder, and like some ice bits, blitz some chopped ice along with all the ingredients. Placing your glasses in the refrigerator or freezer a couple hours before serving also gives these drinks a frosty edge.
- To make this recipe a few hours ahead of time, simply blend the cocktail ingredients together and then place the blender carafe in the refrigerator. Give it a good stir to incorporate all the ingredients (or place carafe on the blender and give it a short blitz) before pouring it into sugar rimmed glasses and garnishing with cinnamon.
