Trinidad's rich, creamy Christmas cocktail made with eggs, condensed milk, evaporated milk, rum, lime zest, nutmeg, and Angostura bitters. Thicker and more flavorful than traditional eggnog.

  • 1 can condensed milk
  • 1 can evaporated milk
  • 1 cup dark rum
  • zest of 2 limes
  • 1 tsp Angostura bitters
  • 1/2 tsp grated nutmeg
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. 1 Blend eggs until frothy.
  2. 2 Add condensed milk, evaporated milk, lime zest, bitters, vanilla, and nutmeg. Blend until smooth.
  3. 3 Add rum and blend briefly to combine.
  4. 4 Strain through a fine sieve to remove any egg bits and lime zest.
  5. 5 Bottle and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. Serve chilled with grated nutmeg on top.
