Boozy Eggnog Milkshake w/ Maker’s 46

Boozy Eggnog Milkshake // take a megabite

Things that make me happy: Elliot, brunch, NAPS, metallic shoes, pink Christmas trees, silver Christmas trees, mini Christmas trees and boozy milkshakes.

So when Maker’s Mark contacted me and was all “Hey girl, want to make an eggnog cocktail with fancy bourbon?!” I responded with a super profesh-ish, “Hell yeah.” Or something like that.

When I think of eggnog, I think of it kinda as drinking an ice cream base. Which is weird of me, but maybe strangely accurate? So, to me, the natural progression was to spike a milkshake and drink it before 3pm when the light was right. And so I did, and it just know that I love it. It’s delish! Spiced af and glorious. (Whoa.)

  1. This looks damn delicious! I’ve never been a fan of rum and eggnog. I think bourbon would be yummy and I am excited to try this shake!
