Eggnog White Russian

A Holiday Twist on a Classic Cocktail

This Eggnog White Russian is inspired by a classic cocktail, but with a holiday twist! Better yet, they’re super simple to make with just four ingredients.

If you love White Russian cocktails — or eggnog — you have to try this creamy spiked treat that swaps the traditional heavy creamy for a cozy splash of Eggnog!

It’s the perfect beverage to enjoy this time of year, full of seasonal flavors and a dose of booze. And if you love eggnog, you might also enjoy my Eggnog Pudding Shots!

Eggnog White Russian Ingredients

To make this drink, all you need is vodka, coffee liqueur (I prefer Kahlua), eggnog (of course!), and nutmeg to sprinkle on top.

This recipe takes hardly any effort — it’s almost just as easy as pouring plain eggnog into a glass!

How To Make Eggnog White Russian

1. Simply stir together the coffee liqueur, vodka, and ice in a short rocks glass.

2. Pour in the eggnog over the back of a spoon for a layering effect.

3. Drink as is or stir before sipping. Garnish with nutmeg!

How To Serve Eggnog White Russian Cocktails

To make simple Eggnog White Russians look festive, I love adding straws, cinnamon sticks, and maraschino cherries to each glass. It’s all about the details, people!

And don’t forget that the kids can have their own version. Sprinkle a little nutmeg on some eggnog and add a few cherries, they’ll love their “fancy” drink.

By swapping vodka for rum plus a splash of Kahlua, this recipe is a nice change from traditional rum and eggnog. However, not sure how “Russian” it is at that point 😉 Plus, it’s a creative way to savor the spicy flavors of eggnog before the holiday season flies by!
