Candy Cane Vanilla Eggnog

I initially created this cocktail for Christmas as you may have noticed but I decided it is still delicious to imbibe all year round. Another seasonal cocktail I love enjoying on cold evenings is a Mexican Hot Chocolate version of this treat and today I am kicking it up a notch with some candy canes and vanilla beans. I love adding some additional flavor to the eggnog because it elevates the flavor and adds a festive twist. This drink could also be served as an eggnog punch to serve at a party.

  • 1.5 ounces of spiced rum
