A quick and easy spiked Christmas eggnog that comes together in just 5 minutes, perfect for last-minute holiday parties. Made with simple ingredients like eggs, milk, cream, and bourbon, it’s creamy, spiced, and sure to impress.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large eggs, separated
  • 1/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (plus more for garnish)
  • 1 cup bourbon or dark rum
  • Optional: 1/4 cup dark spiced rum

Instructions

  1. Separate the eggs. Put the whites in a medium bowl and the yolks in a large bowl.
  2. Whip the egg whites with a hand mixer or whisk until soft peaks form (about 2 minutes with a mixer, 3-4 minutes by hand). Set aside.
  3. In the large bowl, whisk the egg yolks and sugar together until pale yellow and slightly thick (about 1 minute).
  4. Add the whole milk, heavy cream, vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, and freshly grated nutmeg. Whisk until well combined.
  5. Pour in the bourbon (or dark rum, or both) and stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust sweetness or spice as desired.
  6. Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the mixture using a spatula or whisk until no white streaks remain.
  7. Serve immediately over ice, or chill in the refrigerator for up to an hour to let flavors meld.
  8. Garnish each glass with a generous grating of fresh nutmeg. Optional: add a cinnamon stick or dollop of whipped cream.

Notes

For best results, use room temperature eggs. Freshly grated nutmeg is highly recommended over pre-ground. The eggnog can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days; stir before serving. For a dairy-free version, substitute oat milk and full-fat coconut cream. For a mocktail, omit alcohol and add extra vanilla extract and almond milk.
