This is a fabulous blender! I’ve been using it to make breadcrumbs.
I love how it pureed some fresh tomatoes, garlic and onion for a base for tortilla soup, so nice and smooth!
However, I got the idea for a holiday cocktail the other day simply because I had a little chocolate ice cream I wanted to use. I wanted to get rid of the carton in the freezer (taking up too much precious real estate)! So I spied the eggnog liqueur in the fridge, threw some ice cubes into the blender, and in no time, my easy eggnog martini recipe was born!
Of course, I had to think of a way to spruce up the presentation, so I dipped the rim of the glass in a little eggnog liqueur on a plate, and then into crushed speculoos biscuits–yum!
Here’s the thing, you can use vanilla or chocolate ice cream as both flavors work well with the eggnog liqueur.
This easy eggnog martini recipe is perfect for Christmas, Hanukah or New Year’s Eve! Give it a try and I wish you the best of luck in the giveaway on Instagram!

What a brilliant idea, Christina. This looks so deliciously festive too and great for a holiday party dessert!
Thanks, dear!!
This might actually be a martini I would enjoy! I’m afraid martinis aren’t my thing, because I don’t like straight alcohol!
I wanted to call this a cocktail, but apparently no one searches for eggnog cocktails, but they do search for eggnog martini! I’m with you. Made a classic martini once and about died! Could not taste what on earth was appealing about a dry martini! Eeek!
I’m with both of you. I can drink a dry martini only with some lemon soda water (such as 7-up or Sprite), but I’m not sure it’s a good idea. I guess it’s harmful to the stomach.
I’ve never tried eggnog martini, but I’d like to do it soon. I hope it won’t have such a strong taste.
By the way, I wish I had found your blog a bit earlier, before Christmas, and serve it on a festive table. Sure, my relatives will love it, they love martini, especially my mother-in-law :)
Thank you for sharing this recipe, Christina! Added to bookmarks!
And Happy New Year!
Thanks, Anna! Happy new year to you, too and I hope you try this recipe, it’s not too strong of a flavor, but you can always adjust to your own taste. :)
