Cocktail Description

This luxurious winter warmer reimagines eggnog's cozy essence without the eggs, creating a silky, soul-soothing cocktail perfect for fireside contemplation.

The Rummy Maple Nog blends Goslings Black Seal's molasses-rich depth with the apple brandy complexity of Roger Groult Calvados, all enveloped in a cloud of steamed milk and sweetened with pure maple syrup. Your first sip delivers warming baking spices from the rum, followed by subtle apple orchard notes from the Calvados, with the maple syrup providing natural sweetness that's more nuanced than simple sugar. A dusting of freshly grated nutmeg adds aromatic complexity that ties everything together. This straightforward hot cocktail requires no special equipment beyond the ability to steam milk, making it accessible for home bartenders. It shines alongside holiday desserts—particularly apple pie, spiced cookies, or vanilla-forward treats—though it's equally at home paired with a cheese board featuring aged cheddars and creamy blues.
