- Cinnamon stick or star anise for garnish
Instructions

- Pour in the vanilla vodka, amaretto, and eggnog.

Notes
For a more festive presentation, rim the martini glass with cinnamon sugar before pouring.
Prefer it less sweet? Use less amaretto (or skip it) and add a small splash of bourbon or brandy instead.
Homemade eggnog (or a thicker, richer eggnog) will give you the creamiest texture.
Making ahead: mix the alcohol + eggnog in a pitcher and refrigerate. Stir before serving, then shake individual drinks with ice for the frothy finish.
