It’s Day 5 of 12 Days of Christmas Cocktails. Today I’m serving up an Egg Nog Martini. I mean, really, what’s the holidays without a little egg nog?
I really thought this would be a slam dunk kind of recipe. Mix equal amounts of store-bought egg nog with some booze, shake, strain and good to go. And yes, it’s easy to do that. I tried it with spiced rum, plain vodka, and brandy. They were all really good. But I wanted something just a bit different. So then I tried making it with some vodka and Frangelico. But that was too nutty. Next I tried replacing the Frangelico with some Italian almond liqueur and that was much better. Hummmm, what would vanilla vodka taste like with it? I just had to know. So I tried the almond liqueur with vanilla vodka instead of plain vodka. Oh yum. That was even better!
At least at this point I thought it was, but who knows? I was starting to get a little buzzed. Whoops!

Ingredients
Instructions
- If you want to rim the glass, dip the rim in some of the Pumpkin Pie syrup, then in crushed cinnamon wafer cookie (or just combine a little bit of brown sugar and cinnamon on a plate and use that instead of the cookie)
- In cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine vodka, egg nog, almond liqueur and pumpkin pie sauce. Shake well and strain into martini glass.
Equipment
Notes
If you can’t find Torani Pumpkin Pie sauce and you don’t want to make homemade, go ahead and use any caramel syrup, it’s good too!
