Method
- Place your preferred glass in the freezer for a minimum of 10 minutes to have a frosty, refreshing cocktail experience.
- In a glass carefully combine 2 ounces of Baileys Irish Cream and 4 ounces of velvety eggnog. For this recipe, we used store-bought eggnog, but you can use homemade eggnog.
- Using a long spoon or a stirring stick, gently blend the Baileys original Irish cream and eggnog. Make sure the mixture is well-combined and silky smooth.
- Top the stirred Baileys and Eggnog with extra creamy dairy whipped topping.
- Sprinkle a pinch of ground cinnamon over the top and garnish your Christmas cocktail with a cinnamon stick for an extra hint of warmth and aromatic charm.
Notes
Baileys Irish Cream: Baileys Irish Cream brings a creamy texture to this Baileys cocktail. Its smoothness complements the richness of the eggnog and adds a subtle warmth and a touch of sophistication to it. For a non-alcoholic version, feel free to use Irish cream-flavored coffee creamer or a blend of vanilla extract and heavy cream.
Eggnog: Eggnog serves as the heart of this cocktail, giving it a creamy sweetness. If eggnog is not available, you can make homemade eggnog with egg yolks, heavy cream, cinnamon powder, vanilla, salt, a pinch of nutmeg, and cloves. Alternatively, you can try vanilla-flavored milk as a substitute.
Ground Cinnamon: Ground cinnamon enhances the flavor of this Christmas cocktail and acts as a decorative element. Additionally, you can substitute ground cinnamon with a cinnamon-sugar blend or experiment with spices like nutmeg or cloves.
Cinnamon Stick (Optional): The cinnamon stick not only acts as a garnish but also adds a subtle spiciness aroma and visual appeal to the cocktail as you sip. If cinnamon sticks are not available, consider using a vanilla bean for a different aromatic note.
Whipped Topping: For this recipe, we used store-bought whipped topping but you can make your own by whipping chilled heavy cream with powdered sugar until stiff peaks form.
