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!

Eggnog is for more than drinking! In this recipe, our Organic Eggnog in everything—the dough, poured over the rolls before baking, and thinned into the cream cheese frosting.
