- Don’t just stop at the eggnog flavor! For a richer twist, swap the vodka for rum. Craving a mocha moment? Add a splash of coffee liqueur. Feeling extra fancy? Drizzle some chocolate or caramel sauce around the rim of the glass before adding your festive garnish – it’s a decadent way to elevate your delicious eggnog martini game!
