A perfect glass of eggnog with a little nutmeg is a classic holiday drink. Maybe you even like your nog spiked with a little something special. This year, spice up your Christmas or holiday celebrations by trying one of these seven best recipes for an eggnog martini.

Do you look forward to eggnog every holiday season? This creamy eggnog martini recipe is one that you’ll keep in your holiday entertaining playbook for years to come.

Pour into a nice chilled martini glass and garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg for the perfect holiday cocktail.

Much like the first eggnog martini on our list, this beautiful creation features vanilla vodka and amaretto that’s blended with creamy eggnog, but this one takes the holiday spirit of eggnog martinis a little further with the addition of caramel syrup to add an extra touch of richness to this decadent drink. Garnish this one with a cinnamon stick and a rim of brown sugar.

We tend to think of the perfect Christmas cocktail as being one that features eggnog with a darker spirit, like dark rum, whisky, or brandy. Vodka and eggnog just isn’t a combination that comes naturally, but this Italian eggnog martini will challenge your thoughts on this.

Unflavored vodka is combined with top-shelf amaretto and is garnished with caramel syrup, brown sugar, a maraschino cherry, a cinnamon stick, and a candy cane. The unflavored vodka helps cut through the sweetness of this eggnog cocktail.

If we were granted a wish to combine two of our favorite drinks in a single martini glass, this eggnog espresso martini would be the answer to our dreams. The flavor of espresso mellows out the thickness and richness of eggnog and goes perfectly with the undertones of nutmeg.

For this creamy eggnog martini, add eggnog, espresso, dark rum, a coffee liqueur like Kahlua, and a dash of vanilla extract to your cocktail shaker. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with a nice dash of nutmeg or cinnamon.

What would your list of holiday drinks be without something with a nice nip of fiery cinnamon to warm you from head to toe? You’ll want your cocktail shaker filled with this combination of eggnog, vanilla vodka, cinnamon schnapps, and whipped cream. Although it doesn’t call for it, we can see this one being extra tasting with a cinnamon sugar rim and cinnamon candy cane as a garnish.

This extra creamy eggnog martini will be the hit of your next holiday party. This recipe steers away from the standard martini mix and heads straight into the world of rich, decadent liqueurs. Frangelico has a wonderful nuttiness to it that perfectly brings out all of the flavors of the eggnog.

For this holiday martini recipe, combine eggnog, Frangelico, and Rum Chata. Give it a good shake and pour into a nice big martini glass. But first, you’ll want to dip the rim in maple or caramel syrup and give it a nice thick rim of brown sugar.

We love all the wonderful flavors of the holidays, including eggnog and white chocolate. This delicious eggnog martini recipe combines those two wonderful things into one perfect drink that embodies everything about the holidays. Pour a little eggnog, vanilla vodka, white chocolate liqueur, and brandy into a shaker with ice. Give it a good shake and pour. Garnish with nutmeg and maybe even a few white chocolate shavings for the perfect finishing touch.
