Santa's Sleigh Cocktail
(Recipe courtesy of Sandra Lee)

White Sugar Crystals, preferably coarse
2 cups store-bought eggnog, chilled
1/2 cup brandy
1/2 cup amaretto liqueur
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
4 cinnamon sticks

Dampen the rim of 4 martini glasses and then line the rims with the sugar crystals.

Combine the eggnog, brandy, amaretto, nutmeg, and the ice cream in a blender; process until smooth. Pour the mixture into the martini glasses and garnish each glass with a whole cinnamon stick.


(I make this drink during the holiday season and it's delicious! It's not just for holiday cheer, either. I like to make it during the summer, too. It's very cool and refreshing then. )
