About the Eggnog White Russian cocktail
The holidays are here, and it’s time to swap your usual drinks for something a little more seasonal. Mulled ciders, rum & eggnog, and holiday sangria are classics—but now it’s time to add the Eggnog White Russian to the list!
Inspired by the classic White Russian, this holiday twist replaces heavy cream with a splash of rich, spiced eggnog. With just a few simple ingredients, it’s easy to whip up and bursting with cozy, festive flavors.
But what exactly is a White Russian? It’s a Black Russian cocktail with added cream, invented in 1949. The White Russian didn’t rise to fame until the late ’60s, and it got another pop culture boost in the ’90s thanks to The Big Lebowski. Jeffrey “The Dude” Lebowski famously sipped on this creamy cocktail throughout the film, solidifying its iconic status.
Whether you’re a fan of eggnog, White Russians, or both, this creamy, indulgent cocktail is a must-try. Perfect for sipping by a crackling fire, it’s like dessert in a glass—cold, smooth, and guaranteed to warm you from the inside out. Cheers to the season!
