Recipe ingredients
All ingredients for this recipe are shown in the pic below and special notes are made in this bulleted list to assist you.
- Eggnog. This is the star of the show. Use your favorite brand of eggnog. Non-dairy eggnogs work well here too!
- Coffee liqueur. We used Kahlua here but Mr. Black coffee liqueur is excellent too.
- Vodka. Non-flavored vodka is preferred for the eggnog white Russian, however, you can also use a vanilla-flavored vodka if you’d like.
- Nutmeg. I love a little sprinkle of nutmeg with eggnog, but be careful as too much can be overpowering.
See the recipe card for full information on ingredients and quantities.
