Perfect Pairings for Every Taste
Volleman’s Eggnog pairs beautifully with a variety of spirits. Here are some of our favorite suggestions to suit your mood and palate:
- Bourbon, Whiskey, or Rye
Add a warm, smoky depth to your eggnog. These spirits balance the eggnog’s natural sweetness with subtle caramel and oak undertones. Perfect for those who love a classic holiday flavor! - Spiced Rum
Elevate your eggnog with the cozy flavors of vanilla, cinnamon, and clove. This pairing brings out the eggnog’s creamy, full-bodied texture while adding a festive twist. - Baileys Irish Cream
For a double dose of creaminess, mix in Baileys. Its smooth, velvety texture enhances the richness of the eggnog and creates a dessert-like treat in a glass. - Amaretto
Add a nutty, almond flavor that pairs wonderfully with the eggnog’s creamy base. This is an excellent choice for those who enjoy a sweeter cocktail.
