I’m a devoted eggnog fan. To me, eggnog is synonymous with the holidays: rich, creamy, and comfortingly spiced, often enhanced with a splash of bourbon. It’s the cozy, festive drink I look forward to each season.
Because I also love cold brew coffee, it felt natural to combine the two. The result is a delightful balance of creamy eggnog, warm spices, a touch of bourbon, and a clean cold-brew kick — holiday flavors amplified by caffeine.
Full disclosure: I’m not a daily coffee drinker. My partner prefers coffee black with a hint of chai, while I lean toward lattes, cappuccinos, and flavored cold brews that deliver a gentle lift without heavy espresso bitterness. Since discovering cold brew, I’ve been hooked — it’s smooth, flavorful, and a treat I reach for on weekend café runs.
The KitchenAid® Cold Brew Coffee Maker made all the difference. It’s compact and simple to use, producing a smooth concentrate you can keep in the fridge for up to two weeks — perfect for busy schedules or entertaining. Having cold brew concentrate on hand means you can mix coffee cocktails quickly any time.
The maker fits nicely in my refrigerator and pairs well with a kitchen where I like to keep things efficient and stylish. It’s easy to make a batch of spiced concentrate and forget about coffee runs for a while.
For this recipe I spiced the coffee grounds with cinnamon and nutmeg before brewing. That little extra step layers seasonal warmth into the concentrate so it harmonizes beautifully with eggnog and bourbon.
When you combine spiced cold brew with creamy eggnog and a measure of bourbon, you get a festive cocktail that tastes like the holidays in a glass — plus a pleasant caffeine boost to keep the energy up after a big meal.
Give it a try and enjoy a spirited twist on two classic favorites.
