Eggnog White Russian is the perfect Christmas cocktail. Grab your favorite Christmas glass and unite eggnog with vodka and coffee liqueur for a Christmas drink that will blow you away.

This eggnog cocktail is so creamy and delicious, and you can have it your way – shaken or layered.

White Russians usually use cream, but why not use eggnog?! It adds just the right amount of Christmas flavor. Make it with a shot of espresso for the perfect pick-me-up after a long day of cooking in the kitchen or wrapping Christmas presents.
