Holiday Coquito

I’ve always liked baking with egg nog, but I could never truly enjoy drinking it.
Then I stumbled across a coquito and decided to add my own spin with eggnog, booze and festive spices for a true treat in a glass.
For this recipe, I used Ohio-made Smith’s Dairy egg nog. I highly suggest you do the same. The adorable Santa packaging is just the cherry on top of the delicious egg nog inside! If you’re celebrating the holidays from Chicago, you can swap Smith’s egg nog for Oberweis. I promise, your creation will taste equally delicious.
