Spice Up Your Holidays with Jamaican Eggnog!

Sharing is caring!

Fall is right around the corner, so it’s time to update all my fall cocktail recipes!

Are you tired of the same old eggnog that puts you to sleep faster than a lullaby? Most eggnog recipes taste like sour milk with whiskey and cinnamon.

Eggnog is one of those cocktails that you absolutely love or hate.  There is no in-between! 

My twist on eggnog takes you to the Caribbean – Jamaican Eggnog!

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill traditional eggnog but delicious Jamaican eggnog or as some people like to call it Caribbean eggnog.  Y’all know anything from the Caribbean just tastes better!

Picture this: You’re lounging in your favorite ugly Christmas sweater, reggae softly playing in the background, and in your hand is a creamy, spicy concoction that’ll make your taste buds do the cha-cha. That’s the magic of Jamaican eggnog, my friends!

Now, I know what you’re thinking. “Eggnog? In Jamaica? Isn’t it, like, always summer there?” Well, surprise, surprise! Our island friends know how to party year-round, and they’ve perfected the art of holiday cheer in a glass.

What makes Jamaican eggnog special, you ask? Two words: Rum. Cream. Oh, and a dash of that island spice that’ll transport you straight to a sun-soaked beach (even if you’re actually snowed in at your in-laws’).

Ready to shake things up? Here’s how to make your very own batch of Caribbean Christmas cheer:

I spent Christmas in Jamaica a few years ago and the Caribbean eggnog had a different flavor and was slightly sweeter. 

I wrote down the recipe, and I’ve been preparing it every holiday season because this traditional eggnog recipe with a Jamaican twist was everythang!. 

I actually never tasted eggnog until I met my husband 8 years ago. My husband would tell me countless stories about how, as a kid, he and his sister Kia drank up as much virgin eggnog as they could. I didn’t even know that eggnog was a “spiked” drink until I was an adult.

Before serving, top off with a sprinkle of nutmeg and a cinnamon stick.  Remember to serve chilled.  Enjoy!!!

What is Eggnog?

Eggnog is pretty much synonymous with Christmas. Nobody ever drinks eggnog at any other time of the year.

Eggnog is a rich, creamy, sweet dairy-based beverage traditionally enjoyed during the winter holidays. It is often spiked with spirits like rum, brandy, or whiskey. Eggnog is known for its thick, frothy texture and warm spices like nutmeg and cinnamon.

It’s basically Christmas in a glass, folks!

Jamaican Eggnog Recipe:

Ingredients:

• 4 eggs, separated
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
• 1 can (12 oz) evaporated milk
• 1 cup Jamaican white rum (the good stuff!)
• 1/2 cup Jamaican rum cream liqueur
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
• Pinch of salt

Instructions:

1. In a large bowl, beat those egg yolks like they owe you money. Gradually add sugar and keep beating until it’s thick and pale yellow.
2. Slowly mix in the condensed milk, evaporated milk, rum, rum cream, vanilla, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Stir it up, little darlin’!
3. In another bowl, beat the egg whites with a pinch of salt until soft peaks form. Gently fold this into your rum mixture. It’s like adding clouds to your drink!
4. Chill for at least 2 hours, or until you can’t resist any longer.
5. Give it a good stir, pour into glasses, and sprinkle with extra nutmeg for that Insta-worthy finish.
6. Sip, enjoy, and try not to break into spontaneous limbo dancing
