A perfect drink to surprise your guests at your gathering is the Eggnog Espresso Martini. This cocktail is perfect for the holidays, especially if you love coffee and festive flavors. Additionally, eggnog is not only delicious, but it is also believed to have nutritional benefits due to the eggs and milk. So, we can say we are enjoying a drink that also gives us energy!
This Eggnog Espresso Martini is a variation of the classic Espresso Martini, a cocktail that became popular in the 80s thanks to British bartender Dick Bradsell. The story goes that a model asked Dick for a drink that would wake her up and, at the same time, cheer her up for a night out. Thus, the Espresso Martini was born. But today, we’re adding a festive touch with an ingredient we all love at Christmas: eggnog.
The great thing about this drink is that it is not only delicious but also very easy to prepare. You only need a few ingredients: espresso, vodka, coffee liqueur, and of course, eggnog. Easy, right? You can adapt the drink to different tastes. For example, you can adjust the amount of vodka to make it stronger or milder, or use a non-alcoholic version of eggnog if you prefer a lighter drink.
I hope you try this delicious cocktail at your next holiday party. Cheers and happy holidays!
