Equipment

  • Large mixing bowl

  • 10 serving cups or mugs
  • Spoon for topping

Ingredients

  • 4 cups freshly brewed coffee
  • 4 cups eggnog
  • 2 8-ounce containers whipped topping (such as Cool Whip), thawed and divided
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 cup rum optional
  • Ground nutmeg optional for garnish

Instructions

  • In a large bowl, whisk together the coffee, eggnog, one container of whipped topping, and cinnamon until smooth and well blended.
  • Stir in the rum, if using.
  • Cover and refrigerate for several hours or until fully chilled.
  • Just before serving, top each cup with the remaining whipped topping and a light sprinkle of nutmeg.

Notes

To make an Eggnog Latte, skip the chilling step, serve warm, and add whipped topping and nutmeg right away.
For a lighter version, use light eggnog or replace half the eggnog with milk.
This is a great make-ahead drink for parties. Mix it the night before and simply top and serve.
Always refrigerate leftovers promptly.
