Rudolf's Nose
Here is a little Holiday shooter that is guaranteed to get 'em off the sofa and around the piano for some spirited caroling.
Caution: one per customer. One at a time, anyway.
RECIPE: RUDOLF'S NOSE (Shooter)
Coat the rim of a shot glass or a pony glass with cane sugar crystals.
Cut half way into an maraschino cherry, then coat cherry with sugar.
Combine and chill Eggnog and your choice of "flavoring"* 50/50 .
Pour in the chilled Eggnog shooter mixture.
Arrange sugared cherry on edge of glass.
Arrange sugared cherry on edge of glass.
Grate nutmeg on top, and serve.
* Optionals:
* Float the "flavoring" over the Eggnog, but still keep the 50/50 proportion. (It is a shooter after all.)
* Try a fresh cranberry instead of the maraschino cherry.
* Peppermint Schnapps will really seal the deal.
* Bourbon ... if you go for a brown nose.
* Make it a slightly larger drink: In a 4 oz. pony glass pour 2 oz. Eggnog (2 jiggers) and 1/2 oz. "flavoring" (1 jigger).
TIP:
Drink your Rudolf's Nose "nose first".
