What you'll need


1 oz. (equal to one shot) Irish Cream Liqeur (Courtesy of our friends at Carolans, We're using Carolans Irish Cream) 
1 oz. Irish Whiskey (alternative: brandy) 
5 oz. Eggnog
Nutmeg (to sprinkle) 
Coconut (alternative: shaved white chocolate) for garnish 
Cocktail shaker
Martini glass

Before you start

Wet the rim of the martini glass, dip upside down into a plate of coconut shavings, roll on sides if necessary. 


Alternative:
Using a grater, shave off white chocolate in small pieces into a bowl. On a plate, melt additional white chocolate and dip rim of martini glass upside down into white chocolate. Taking the martini glass, dip the wet rim (or roll from side to side) in the chocolate shavings. 


Cocktail

Fill cocktail shaker, halfway with ice. Pour a shot of Irish cream into the shaker. 


Add shot of whiskey or brandy to the shaker. 


Next, add 5 oz. of eggnog. Shake to chill and strain into martini glass and add dash on nutmeg on top.
 

And you're finished! This recipe makes about 2-3 cocktails depending on size of glass so be sure to spread the love this holiday season!
