I love this time of the year because all the seasonal cocktails come out in full force. One of my holiday favorites is eggnog made with bourbon.
What’s That Naughty Elf Been Up to Now?
The best eggnog moments are warming up near the fire and sipping on this boozy treat. Each year I try to make a new version of the classic bourbon recipe. This year I made a salted caramel version that is sweet, salty, and comfort in a glass. Are you looking to put a spin on the traditional eggnog cocktail? Amp up your game and get cozy with your eggnog. Happy Holidays!
