I do love a cocktail or seven over the festive season. I think out of all cocktails, a hands-down number one hit and family favourite at Christmas is eggnog. But what happens if you skip the rum, add a vanilla vodka and amaretto twist, shake it up and strain it into a glass? The Eggnog Martini, that’s what, and it’s epic! As far as best vodka Christmas cocktails go, this one is packed with sweet and indulgent holiday cheer!
Let me know how you get on.

You had me at amaretto, haha. This sounds amazing. Would love to give this a try. You’ll probably catch me trying to lick the cinnamon sugar off the glass afterwards
It looks good. I will try this on next holiday.
