Amaretti Almond Milk Nog
/
Decorating the Christmas tree with eggnog and Sailor Jerry’s Spiced Rum was always my favourite way to kick-off the holiday season, but now that I’m rethinking drinking, I wanted to create something that was alcohol-free and healthier than a carton of full cream egg nog.
The flavour and aroma of Amaretto defines Christmas for many people - memories of Nona’s almond cookies perhaps?
Prior to rethinking drinking, I would never have had an amaretto in the house, but I’ve recently fallen deeply in love with Lyre’s Spirits Co. Amaretti Style non alcoholic almond liqueur. Its delicate almond flavour and hint of sweetness is a beautiful addition to any holiday non alcoholic cocktail.
The Amaretto Almond Nog is a decadent but healthy zero proof cocktail, with low calories and sugar and is a perfect replacement for a full fat egg nog with rum. It’s also extremely easy and doesn’t require any shaking!
Level of difficulty
Extremely easy! Pour and serve!
When to serve
This is a perfect drink any time of the year, but especially festive for tree trimming, Christmas morning or a lazy holiday afternoon by a roaring fire.
Ingredients
3 oz Lyre’s Amaretti Style
3 oz Vanilla Almond Milk
.5 oz Free Spirits Spirit of Bourbon
.5 oz Light Cream (optional, remove to make this Vegan)

Directions
Add both non-alcoholic spirits to the bottom of a small glass and stir to combine. Add several cubes of ice, pour in chilled Almond Milk and cream and gently stir again. Sprinkle or grate fresh nutmeg over the top and serve.
