Ingredients
  

  • 6 oz eggnog
  • 2 oz spiced rum
  • 1 tsp maple syrup optional
  • Freshly grated nutmeg to garnish
  • Cinnamon stick to garnish

Instructions
 

  • Chill Your Glass: Place a rocks glass or coupe glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes to achieve a smoother, creamier sipping experience.
  • Mix the Cocktail: In a cocktail shaker, combine eggnog, spiced rum, and maple syrup (if using).
  • Shake Gently: Shake lightly to blend — avoid vigorous shaking so the eggnog doesn’t become overly foamy.
  • Strain and Serve: Pour into the chilled glass.
  • Garnish: Top with freshly grated nutmeg and add a cinnamon stick as a garnish and stirrer.
