Ingredients
- 2 cups vanilla ice cream well frozen for best texture
- 1 cup eggnog preferably creamy and fragrant with nutmeg and vanilla
- 1 dash bourbon or rum optional, for depth and boozy flavor
- 0.5 teaspoon nutmeg or cinnamon freshly grated for best aroma

Instructions
- Gather all your ingredients and tools—this helps everything go smoothly.
- Add two generous scoops of vanilla ice cream into your blender, creating a thick base for the shake.
- Pour in one cup of eggnog, which will bring that warm, spicy flavor and creamy texture.
- If you like a boozy kick, add a dash of bourbon or rum to deepen the flavor.
- Sprinkle in half a teaspoon of freshly grated nutmeg or cinnamon to enhance the seasonal spices.
- Secure the lid on your blender and blend on high for about 30 seconds until the mixture is smooth, frothy, and well combined. You should hear a gentle hum and see the shake turn a creamy, even color.
- Stop the blender and carefully remove the lid. Use a spatula to scrape down the sides if needed, ensuring everything is well mixed.
- Pour the thick, frosty milkshake into your favorite glass or mug, watching it settle into a creamy, inviting pour.
- Top with a generous swirl of whipped cream and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon or nutmeg for a festive finish.
- Serve immediately with a straw or spoon, and enjoy this cozy, seasonal treat that’s perfect for relaxing nights or holiday gatherings.
Notes
Feel free to adjust the spices or alcohol to suit your taste. Using very firm, well-frozen ice cream helps keep the shake thick and scoopable. For a thinner shake, add a splash more eggnog and blend briefly.
