When you’re ready to serve it, pour it into the shaker and shake with ice, up to two portions at a time. You can store it for about 24 hours in the jar. You can make a larger batch for a group but I recommend making it in a large mason jar ahead of time and giving it a shake to break up the egg whites. Just make sure not to add TOO much ice to the shaker as it will definitely overflow and explode all over the place. You can definitely double this to make a portion for two in the shaker as the recipe calls for, it fits just fine. In terms of batching this cocktail, there are a few things to keep in mind. Just make sure to shake it a lot, likely a bit longer than you think you should. Strain it with a Hawthorne strainer and pour it into your favorite glass, a coupe glass is my personal preference for this drink. The Peppermint White Hot Chocolate is great for the kiddos or add a splash of your favorite sprit for your own.Īdd the ingredients to a shaker glass and shake. If you’re looking for another particularly festive drink make sure to check out our Thanksgiving Punch (which is just as great for any other winter holiday) and our Dairy-Free Peppermint White Hot Chocolate. If you’re looking for a homemade Dairy-Free Egg Nog, I have a recipe you’ll love! It’s a close second to the real deal. In fact, I find that dairy-free egg nog is my preference when it comes to cocktails as it isn’t as thick and rich and won’t overwhelm the other flavors in the drink. While I love the taste of egg nog I find if I have too much egg nog my body doesn’t love it. Tarth be told, if they sold egg nog year around it would likely be my favorite year around. Heck, egg nog PERIOD is always a favorite of mine this time of year. ![]() ![]() Not to mention, egg nog based cocktails are always a favorite of mine this time of year. Liquors like bourbon and dark rum tend to go best with the flavor profiles I prefer. I mean, who wouldn’t be thrilled to show up at a holiday party serving up a Gingerbread Whiskey Sour? This time of year I’m particularly drawn to cocktails with a bit of spice and depth. I mean, some would say any cocktail is the best cocktail but there’s something I especially love about holiday cocktails.
