This decadent Homemade Eggnog Cocktail is the perfect drink to serve at your holiday party this year. It has delicious hints of kahlua and Baileys Irish Cream mixed with the yummy taste of old fashioned eggnog.

This recipe is for eggnog lovers everywhere. 🙂 I absolutely love eggnog.

My Mom always buys a gallon from the grocery store for me once she spies it in the grocery stores every Fall. She knows how much I’ve loved eggnog since I was Pretty much weaned.

I would happily drink the entire gallon myself. My husband and kids fight me for it now. But I always get my share.

As an adult I’ve add eggnog cocktails to this eggy love affair. This one turned out SO good.

This one came into being one night when my friend Christina and I had an eggnog party for two. We had a great time experimenting and came up with this drink as you see it below.

Eggnog is JUST coming into the stores around October first or so. I am quick to find it and make this cocktail. I love sipping my favorite Fall comfort food with a lovely alcohol kick.

The Glasses and presentation:

I’ve enjoyed this eggnog drink recipe for several years now. We’ve put it together in a few different ways with different glasses and garnishes.

This stemless wine glass presentation has a nice party vibe. Set these beauties out after dinner for a Thanksgiving or Christmas cocktail.

Isn’t it cute? And the chocolate is a nice touch for some extra interest.

Footed Irish coffee mugs (I found mine at Home Goods) are a bit less formal. I make mine in the mugs without the extra chocolate. But the sugar spice rim is a nice touch.

Feel free to add the chocolate if you like.

Made in the Irish coffee mug this drink has a much more casual and cozy vibe going for it. Sit with a friend as I did and have a coze by your fire on a chilly night.

Put out a bunch of these for a fun drink at a holiday party. They are easy to handle and quick to make.

I’ve linked both types of glasses for you in the recipe card at the post bottom in case you don’t find any at your local stores. Thank you for supporting Homemade Food Junkie.
