Eggnog Martini - goodness

Wow! Bad blogger! Shame on me! I have been such a bad blogger lately. I need to catch you guys up on what's been going on.

In the meantime, sip on this :-).

We recently made these tasty treats for a couple of friends. They were a big hit. I found a similar recipe somewhere online, but I changed it up  and made it Happy Apple Goodness style. :-)

The Ingredients to make the eggnog:
1. Egg Nog (of course) I got the cheap-o Kroger's brand. It was about 1.50 (no need to buy an expensive brand. I saw some that was as much as $4.00....don't waste your money, since we are mixing it with other stuff anyway.)
2. Brandy (we already had this at the house from a previous party. Thanks to Matt that brought it to the party a few months back! It definitely came in handy!)
3. Butterscotch Schnapps



Mix the ingredients to your "taste". Some people like more eggnog than brandy or vice versa. My friends enjoyed it. We mixed ours to be sweet, but yet you could tell there was something extra in the egg nog.

Honestly, hubby mixed this. So, I couldn't even begin tell you the exact measurements he used. He just gave me taste tests to try and see if more of which item was needed. But, I think he started doing it at first with mixing it part and part. Basically, the same amount of each of the 3 ingredients, ex a cup of eggonog , cup of brandy, and a cup of butterscotch) and then he went from there.

Next,
4. Pour some honey on a plate
5. Crumble up some graham crackers on a second plate.
6. Get a martini glass (I had my martini glasses chilled in the freezer....this makes the drink THAT much better)


Voila! I hung a mini candy cane on the inside to make the drink even more festive! They were delish.

Now, what you waiting on!!!! Go make some!!!!!
