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.
