Eggnog, that classic Christmas adult beverage, is really a sweetened dairy-based beverage that is traditionally made with milk and or preferably real cream, some sugar, and beaten eggs (which is what gives eggnog that frothy texture we love). And, don't forget the liquor! You can use  brandy, rum, or whiskey. To finish this classic yuletide drink, garnish with a sprinkling of ground cinnamon or nutmeg. There are other modern variations, like Gin Finger's favorite – the Eggnog Martini. Try one, or two. You be the judge – you're the adult here. Merry Christmas and thanks for visiting!

The Classic Eggnog Martini 1 ounce spiced rum, 1 1/2 ounces dark rum 1/2 ounce vanilla vodka 3 ounces of eggnog 1/4 ounce plain syrup Crushed graham crackers Honey, cinnamon stick, powdered cinnamon Mix the dark rum, spiced rum, and vodka in a martini shaker. Add the ice, then add in the eggnog and a dash of syrup. Dip the rim of a chilled martini glass in honey, then into the graham crackers. Shake well, strain well, then pour the mixture into the chilled martini glass. Garnish by adding a cinnamon stick and powdered cinnamon to the top of the drink.

Cheers and Merry Christmas!
