1. Fill a cocktail shaker with ice to cool the ingredients and help dilute the drink very slightly, enhancing its texture.
2. Pour the eggnog, vodka, and amaretto into the shaker.
3. Secure the lid on the cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. The goal is to create a well-mixed drink with a lightly frothy top from the eggnog.
4. Strain the contents of the shaker into a chilled martini glass. It’s important to have the glass cold so that it keeps the drink at the perfect temperature for sipping.
5. Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg on the surface of the eggnog martini. This not only adds a lovely pattern on the froth but also gives a burst of holiday scent with each sip.
6. Serve immediately and enjoy the smooth, creamy cocktail with a hint of nuttiness from the amaretto, underpinned by the warm, festive flavor of nutmeg.
