It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…break out the fuzzy boots and the egg nog. Though, if I have to be honest with you, I don’t typically like egg nog. However, add a bit of RumChata and I’m all about it! If you aren’t familiar with RumChata, it’s a YUMMY cream liqueur that you can use for a spiked cocktail. Last year I shared how to make a RumChata Hot Cocoa, and this year I have a fun egg nog recipe that is perfect for your next holiday party!
To get started, gather up a few ingredients. Whipped cream is a MUST! Egg nog, whiskey or bourbon, salted caramel liqueur, and a caramel sauce for garnish round out the rest of the ingredients.
Candy canes crushed on top of the whipped cream add just the right touch! So, let’s get ready to stuff your glass with this delicious yuletide treat.

The directions mention cream but the ingredients don’t list it. Any input on this ?
Krystal says
whipped cream? Top the cocktail with whipped cream and add crushed candy canes.
Michael says
Thanks for the reply Krystal. I was referring to step 1 in the instructions. It mentions heavy cream.
“Combine RumChata, bourbon, egg nog, salted caramel liqueur, and heavy cream in a Martini Shaker with 3 cubes of ice and shake, shake, shake and shake once more!”
Michelle says
Do you have to use the salted Carmel as I am not suppose to have salt and if it taste to salty, I wouldn’t like it.
Thanks
