Searching for the perfect Holiday cocktail? Well, look no further than our rich, creamy, and all-out festive eggnog mixed drink.  This White Chocolate Bourbon Eggnog has lots of Christmassy flavors like nutmeg, cinnamon, and clove!

White Chocolate Bourbon Eggnog

Problem: What cocktail to serve during the holidays?

Solution: Our White Chocolate Bourbon Eggnog is a great way to spruce up traditional eggnog with the warm caramel notes of good bourbon. The Créme De Cocoa adds a hint of toasted chocolate, along with the rich, delicate sweetness of Godiva White Chocolate liqueur. And with a short swirl of  Torani White Chocolate, you’ve got a winning combination that will have everyone asking for another chilled glass of this perfect holiday cocktail. It wouldn’t be a bad idea to triple or quadruple this delightful cocktail recipe, but don’t worry because saying, “Cheers!” with good friends never gets old.

The Best Eggnog Cocktail

It’s all about the eggnog cocktail

There is something special about an eggnog cocktail, maybe it’s a seasonal thing where the expectation of tasting a particular flavor is like an itch under your skin that won’t go away until you’re satisfied. Well, if you’ve got that eggnog craving, I totally understand, and it’s one more reason to make this “tis’ is the season for making merry,” drink. So, in the spirit of making the yuletide gay, we have this seasonally delicious White Chocolate Bourbon Eggnog. 

The Best Holiday Bourbon Cocktail

I crafted this cocktail with the holidays in mind, hence the eggnog. But this isn’t your grandma’s eggnog. Nope, not even close. This one has its share of quality bourbon and lots of chocolate notes. The dusting of apple pie spice and a whole star anise pod tie things up nice and pretty like a bow. I love the boozy creaminess of this cocktail, but I am warning you, it goes down easy so be very careful. 

The Best Holiday Drinks

When guests arrive offer this classy cocktail, and they’ll feel extra special. The familiar taste will conjure up fond memories of past holidays, and soon everyone will be making new memories and relishing in your gracious hospitality!

The Best White Chocolate Cocktail

A splash of 10-year old Henry McKenna bourbon gives this beautiful cocktail heady caramel undertones. Now, imagine you beside a roaring fire as you raise a glass to this wonderful season. 

The Best Apple Pie Spiced Cocktail

What You Will Need To Make Our Spiced Bourbon Eggnog:

Bourbon Whiskey. For this recipe, I used Henry McKenna 10-year old bourbon but use whatever bourbon you prefer. Either way, it’s going to be a jolly good time. 

Créme De Cocoa. A bit of créme de cocoa adds rich chocolatey notes to this deliciously yummy holiday cocktail. To vary the flavor use Kahlúa coffee-flavored liqueur, hazelnut syrup, almond liqueur, or a bit of exotic Amarula liqueur. 

Godiva White Chocolate Liqueur. Adding a dram or two of Godiva white chocolate liqueur adds creamy goodness that will make you want to enjoy this lovely and festive cocktail over and over again. Sidebar: I also love the Godiva Dark Chocolate liqueur in this luscious cocktail. 

Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice Eggnog. Is it really a wintertime celebration without an eggnog cocktail? That’s what we thought too! And adding the irresistible goodness of Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice Eggnog is some kind of wonderful. 

Iced or Warm. Use ice cubes in this cocktail to chill things down, but if you want to change things up a bit serving this cocktail warm is a great way to make this already perfect cocktail even more enjoyable on a snowy night. 

Apple Pie Spice & Star Anise. To finish off this cocktail, add a slight dusting of ground apple pie spice and a single star anise pod to give this yuletide cocktail a classic look. Cheers!
