Anyone who knows me for one minute…knows I HATE LATE FALL AND WINTER. Despise it. I keep trying to keep up my happiness factor once late November hits, but I really stink at it. If I could work and live in a spot where I NEVER had to see snow again, I would do a jig!
A couple of years ago, my husband brought home a card from Bacardi that a taster had been giving out and they had the
recipe for an Egg Nog Tini. Now, I have made other Egg Nog Tinis before, but they have left me as cold as the outdoors! Until I tasted this one. Now, we get our Egg Nog from Aldi. I used to spend $9 a bottle for egg nog and found the Aldi brand gave the same taste/quality as the local dairy brand for a fraction of the cost. Plus, I didn't have to purchase a 1/2 gallon bottle. So come November…I am always perusing the Aldi refrigerators eagerly anticipating the arrival of their Christmas special products which Egg Nog fits into.
To
boot, they have a spice cookie (again a special purchase) which do a beautiful
rimmer and topping.
So, how easy is this tini? It only has 2
ingredients! Now that is easy.
Ingredients:
2 oz Bacardi Gold
4 oz Egg Nog
Spiced cookies ground down.(optional)
Canned in whipped cream
Directions:
1) Fill a shaker half way with ice. Pour liquid in and shake for no less than 60 seconds. (This is a ‘tini which must be served ice cold!)
2) Rim glass and pour drinks in. Top with whipped cream and additional cookie crumbs.
