Eggnog White Russian Ingredients:

It takes just 5 simple ingredients to make an Eggnog White Russian. To whip up one (or a pitcher!), you'll need:

  • Eggnog - Serves as the creamy base of the drink. Choose your favorite packaged store-bought brand. (Or, you can use homemade eggnog if you prefer. Just be sure it's not already got alcohol added in.)

  • Kahlua - The classic coffee liqueur component of a White Russian cocktail. 

  • Vanilla vodka - Vodka is the other classic liquor component of a traditional White Russian. We choose vanilla vodka for an Eggnog White Russian to add just a bit more sweetness than in the classic. That being said, you can substitute regular unflavored vodka if you prefer.

  • Ground nutmeg - The traditional eggnog spice. A bit stirred into and sprinkled on top of the cocktail brings amazing nutmeg-eggnog flavor.

  • Ground cinnamon - Also stirred into and sprinkled on top of the cocktail, ground cinnamon beautifully compliments the nutmeg and brings great holiday flavor.
