The creamy texture, sweetness, and gentle warming-spice notes of fresh Shamrock Farms Traditional Eggnog make it a versatile base for many cocktail flavor pairings. Use it to replace the cream or milk in any of your favorite dairy-based cocktails—like matcha or chai martinis—to add a taste of the holidays. We love to serve this one in a frosty glass, but any festive vessel will do, as would a mini candy-cane stirrer. Whatever you choose, once you add this to your holiday cocktail rotation, it’s not coming out.
