Boozy Eggnog Milkshake

This article is also available in Deutsch.

Eggnog is a drink that is a winner at any time of year! In the form of a boozy milkshake, perfect for the hot summer season!

With only three ingredients, you can prepare this excellent drink in minutes! Decorate with whipped cream and cocktail cherry, and you're looking good at any BBQ or summer party!

The delicate taste of eggnog (homemade) is accompanied by delicious (homemade) vanilla ice cream. Its creamy texture will make your heart beat faster!

Another delicious milkshake I can highly recommend is our Stracciatella Egg Liqueur Milkshake with homemade Egg Liqueur! Both milkshakes make a beautiful drink for a Christmas in July party!

If you don't wanna fret about making the eggnog and the vanilla ice cream yourself, I hear you! Sometimes you might not have the time!

Just hop to a nearby local store and get yourself the store-bought products. 🙂

🥘 Ingredients

Milk
Vanilla ice cream - homemade or store-bought
Eggnog - homemade or store-bought. Alternatively, any crème liqueur can be used.

For garnish

Whipped cream - For the sake of simplicity and shelf life, I used a can of ready-made whipped cream for garnish in this recipe.
Cocktail cherry
Powdered sugar
Straw

See the recipe card for quantities.

🔪 Instructions

Step 1

Take a high mixing bowl and fill it with milk. Foam the milk with an electric hand mixer and then mix in the eggnog.

Step 2

Prepare the drinking glass for serving and put one scoop of vanilla ice cream in the glass. Pour the milk-egg liqueur mixture into the cup.

Step 3

Decorate the egg liqueur milkshake with whipped cream and dust some powdered sugar over it with a sieve. Finally, place the cocktail cherry on top and serve with a straw.

All it takes is five minutes to prepare this delightful summer drink! Now take your time to savor it!

🥃 Substitutions

Instead of eggnog, you can use any cream liqueur of your choice. Baileys Strawberry-Cream or coffee liqueur (Kahlua) are both delicious alternatives! If you do not want a cream liqueur, I recommend Cointreau or Apricot Brandy. Both are fantastic alternatives to eggnog as well.

📖 Variations

To make this milkshake suitable for Christmas 🧑‍🎄:

replace the cocktail cherry with Christmas decorations
add an adorable candy cane stirrer
or use Christmas sprinkles,
and dust the whipped cream with cinnamon or nutmeg instead of powdered sugar.

This way, you'll have a Christmas milkshake in no time!

🌡 Storage

Milkshakes don't store very well. They lose their texture after a short time.

Since you can prepare this eggnog milkshake in just five minutes, I recommend mixing it up fresh right before serving.

💭 Top tip

If you want your milkshake ice-cold and foamier, use a cocktail shaker to make it instead of a hand mixer.

Shake milk and Eggnog with three ice cubes in a cocktail shaker, and then pour the mixture over the vanilla ice in the glass.

🙋🏻 FAQ

Can I add other spices or use different toppings for this eggnog milkshake?

Yes, of course! You can sprinkle your milkshake, for example, with ground nutmeg, cinnamon, or cocoa, but also use chocolate sprinkles. Eggnog is very grateful here when using different toppings.

Where can I buy eggnog?

Usually, you can buy Eggnog all year round. In local liquor stores, it may only be available from October onwards. If this is the case, and you can't get it, you can easily make it yourself or buy it online.
