Looking for a festive drink for Christmas? Then try our delicious winter cocktail with creamy eggnog.
What could be nicer than curling up on the couch with a blanket and sipping a delicious, warm drink on a cold, uncomfortable winter day? So that it never gets boring in a glass or cup, we are introducing you to something particularly delicious today: our Christmas cocktail with eggnog.
Eggnog or eggnog are always a real treat for the palate anyway. But we mix the classic with other ingredients and give it a special twist.
Wintery eggnog cocktail for the holidays
What goes into the glass here is something that fits together and, on top of that, simply tastes like pure Christmas. Warm milk meets the fresh aroma of orange, combined with winter spices of vanilla and cinnamon. Plus the creamy eggnog, which also heats things up. The ideal drink for rainy or even snowy evenings.
And you need these ingredients:
For 4 servings:
- 500 ml milk
- Zest of an organic orange
- 1 vanilla bean
- 80g sugar
- 250 ml eggnog
Optional for decoration:
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp cinnamon
- 4 cinnamon sticks
- whipped cream
And this is how it is prepared:
1. In the first step, pour the milk into a small pot. Add the zest of an organic orange and heat over a medium flame. Be careful: the whole thing shouldn’t be boiled. Meanwhile, scrape out the pulp of a vanilla pod and add it to the pot along with the sugar.
2. Once everything is hot, you can stir in the eggnog. Heat carefully again.
3. Lightly moisten the rims of four heatproof glasses and dip them in a mixture of brown sugar and cinnamon to create a pretty rim. Place a cinnamon stick in each glass and pour the hot drink equally. Optionally dust with cinnamon or serve with cream.
