It’s the kind of cocktail that makes you curious about exploring more unique takes on a Christmas cocktail or even revisiting the idea of a Bourbon Eggnog White Russian. Perfect for anyone looking to try a spin on a Classic Vodka Cocktail without getting too into the usual cosy seasonal notes.

Eggnog White Russian Recipe Substitutions and Variations

If you’re out of vodka, you can use white rum instead its a pretty good substitute
Instead of coffee liqueur, you might mix some brewed coffee with a little bit of simple syrup and a splash of rum
If you don’t have eggnog, try mixing equal parts whole milk and heavy cream with a bit of vanilla and a pinch of cinnamon
You can swap freshly grated nutmeg with ground cinnamon if you dont have any nutmeg on hand

Pro Tips

• Pre-chill your ingredients and glass a bit before mixing so it stays icy even if you stir it a few more times.
• Make sure you use freshly grated nutmeg right before serving; it brings a stronger, fresher flavor that can really brighten up the drink.
• Give the mix a good, vigorous stir so all the flavors blend well, cause sometimes if you don’t mix enough one sip might be too strong.
• Taste as you go and adjust if you feel like the balance is a bit off, trying a teeny bit more eggnog or coffee liqueur can make all the difference.
