Orange Cinnamon Eggnog

Orange & Cinnamon Eggnog is a weird cocktail but one that once you try you’ll be surprised at how delicious it can be. Creamy with orange and spicy flavours.

I think it’s a very British thing to think that Eggnog is weird. It is, but it is delicious.

I’ve been trying out this American Christmas staple and adding my own flavour twist to the classic recipe by Waitrose Cellar. See the original recipe here Waitrose Cellar Eggnog.

Orange Cinnamon Eggnog

I love the cinnamon and orange flavours at Christmas and love adding to them to most things. With the addition of Cointreau to the rum and the nutmeg on top this frothie and milky drink takes on a lovely extra Christmassy feeling. I hope you like it and it makes a very nice pudding.

Orange Eggnog recipe

Orange goes so well with eggnog. It takes something away from the creaminess which can be a little over powering if you aren’t a fan of dairy. The orange doesn’t take anything away from the flavour of the eggnog but really adds some extra Christmas flavours that increase the wonderful experience.

Eggnog isn’t a hug cocktail to have in the UK but I think it will be gaining momentum. Once you’ve tried it, it really does seem something special for a festive treat.

Cointreau eggnog recipe

Cointreau is a beautiful flavour and works with the creamy eggnog so well to give a delicate but moreish orange flavour.

Can I use liquid egg whites/ pasteurised egg whites for eggnog?

Yes you can. Using Egg whites from supermarkets for eggnog is an option if you don’t want to use raw eggs at home. The egg whites available in bottles are often pasteurised so they come with less risk than using raw. They still work in exactly the same way as normal for this Orange Cinnamon Eggnog recipe.

Waitrose Cellar provided me with gift voucher to purchase the ingredients for my recipe. The ideas are all my own.
