Eggnog Espresso Martini with Rum

Eggnog Espresso Martini with Rum is a creamy, festive cocktail that brings together eggnog, rum, coffee liqueur, cold brew, coffee or espresso, vanilla, and cinnamon. It’s a simple holiday drink with rich seasonal flavors and a cozy finish.

This homemade cocktail is easy to prepare, making it a fun choice for holiday gatherings or a relaxed evening at home. The creamy eggnog pairs naturally with the bold coffee flavors, while rum adds a smooth, warming note to the drink.

Espresso martinis make a great after dinner cocktail, and this eggnog version gives the classic drink a festive twist. It’s just as fitting for a holiday movie night or a casual evening spent playing games as it is for a December celebration.

You can also adjust the recipe to suit your preferences. Rum can be replaced with whiskey or vodka, and vegan eggnog can be used to make the cocktail dairy free. Even without much home bartending experience, this drink comes together easily.

Notes

• This recipe is for one cocktail, but some cocktail shakers could fit a double batch for cocktails for two!

• You can adjust the amount of eggnog based on your preference and the size of your coupe glass. We used fairly large coupes but if you’re using a smaller glass reduce the amount of eggnog slightly so it will fit. Or just save whatever is left in the shaker for a top off when you’re ready
