Substitutions and Variations
Substitute bourbon or spiced rum for vodka to get a different flavor profile.

Substitute dairy-free eggnog in place of eggnog for a non-dairy version.

Pro Tips
1. Chill Your Glass: For an even more refreshing experience, chill your rocks glass in the freezer for about 15 minutes before preparing the cocktail. This keeps the drink colder for longer and prevents ice from diluting it too quickly.
2. Homemade Eggnog: If you want an exceptional taste, consider making your own eggnog. Freshly made egg nog often has richer, more nuanced flavors than store-bought, enhancing the overall quality of the cocktail.
3. Layering Technique: For a visually striking presentation, pour the eggnog over the back of a spoon when adding it to the vodka and coffee liqueur mixture. This technique allows the liquids to layer gently, similar to a layered cocktail.
4. Spice it Up: Add a pinch of cinnamon or a few drops of vanilla extract, along with the nutmeg, for a sweeter and spicier depth of flavor.
5. Adjust Sweetness: If the drink is too sweet or not sweet enough, adjust the ratio of coffee liqueur or consider using a dash of simple syrup to reach your desired level of sweetness.
