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!

Here’s the finished dish.

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.

I sprinkled some of the crumbs into the center of the cocktail along with a dash of nutmeg.

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! (GIVEAWAY HAS ENDED.)

    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. :)
