Ingredients

1 cup Rye Whiskey
1 cup Sweet Vermouth
1 cup Averna Amaro
1 cup Pimento Dram
1 cup Simple Syrup
1/2 cup Lemon Juice
2 cups Straus Organic Eggnog

Instructions

Step 1

In a 64-ounce mason jar, combine the Rye Whiskey, Sweet Vermouth, Averna Amaro, Pimento Dram, Simple Syrup, and Lemon Juice.
Step 2

In another 64-ounce mason jar, add the 2 cups of warmed Straus Old-Fashioned Organic Eggnog.
Step 3

Pour the alcoholic mixture from the first jar into the second jar containing the eggnog. As you do this, you'll notice the ingredients visibly curdle.
Step 4

To achieve a clarified consistency, pass the final mixture through a large strainer lined with a coffee filter or cheesecloth. Continue straining multiple times until the mixture begins to pour transparent.
Step 5

Serve the drink over ice and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg and enjoy!
