Eggnog is Reaching New Heights- in Martini Form

Creamy and delicious - and just in time for the holidays - Eggnog Martini

A Thanksgiving tradition in my family for the young and old alike was drinking eggnog. As kids, we got used to the creamy concoction with freshly grated nutmeg on top. Our folks liked it with a splash of cognac. Today, we’re bringing it to a new level. Enter the Eggnog martini. Are you game?
