Dry shake (without ice) 10–15 seconds to mix and emulsify the egg together with other ingredients.

Step 4
Strain over a frozen glass and dust with freshly ground nutmeg. Serve immediately.

Tips & Suggestions

Preparation Tip 1

Temper the eggs by gradually adding a little warm milk or spirit to the beaten eggs while whisking, as this avoids curdling and gives a smooth texture when heating or mixing ingredients.

Serving Tip 1

Chill the Eggnog cocktail base for a minimum of 12 hours if serving cold; resting allows the alcohol to soften the egg and dairy mixture, enhancing texture and blending.
