Here it is, my go-to evening libation for the 2021 holiday season. Usually I’m a “glass of wine type person”, but this deliciously boozy, creamy, holiday spiced drink has my number. If you have ever spiked your eggnog, this drink is for you. If you don’t like eggnog, this drink is still for you (spoiler: contains no eggnog). I hope you enjoy this winter-y treat, and the happiest holiday wishes from my home to yours.
