Cocktail Base

4 oz egg nog (chilled, well-stirred)3/4 oz Butterscotch Schnapps1 1/2 oz 2 Gingers Irish Whiskey

Aromatics & Bitters

2 dashes cardamom bitters

Garnish & Ice

1 to taste large ice cubes or one large sphere1 tsp freshly grated nutmeg1 each optional: short cinnamon stick or star anise

Method

Prepare Glass & Ice

Chill glass

Place a rocks glass in the freezer for 5–10 minutes or fill it with ice water while you prepare the drink to ensure it's nicely chilled.

If using, prepare one large ice cube or sphere and set aside. Alternatively, fill the chilled glass with 2–3 large ice cubes.

Build the Cocktail

Add the chilled egg nog, Butterscotch Schnapps and 2 Gingers Irish Whiskey into a mixing glass or Boston shaker filled with a little ice (about 4–6 cubes).

Add 2 dashes of cardamom bitters on top of the liquid.

Stir gently with a bar spoon for 10–15 seconds to chill and lightly incorporate (stirring keeps the egg nog velvety and avoids over-dilution).

Finish & Serve

Discard the chilling ice water from the serving glass if used. Place the prepared large ice cube or fresh ice into the chilled rocks glass.

Strain the mixed cocktail from the mixing glass into the prepared rocks glass over the ice.

Grate a small pinch (about 1 tsp) of fresh nutmeg over the top. Add the optional cinnamon stick or star anise for aroma if desired.

Serve immediately with a short stirrer/straw so the drinker can re-stir briefly as it chills. Recommend sipping slowly; the nog is rich and boozy.
