Eggnog Coffee Punch is a festive holiday treat that blends creamy eggnog with bold coffee or espresso shot, ice cream, a touch of rum (optional), and warming spices. Imagine silky eggnog swirled with rich coffee, a hint of rum’s warmth, and cinnamon’s comforting aroma. It’s perfect for brunch, dessert, or cozy gatherings, adding a joyful boost to the season’s celebrations.

Tips For Eggnog Coffee Punch
Flavor:
- Coffee choice: Use freshly brewed coffee for the best flavor. Cold brew or a strong espresso can add extra depth.
- Spices: Go beyond rum for extra wintery vibes. Try adding a splash of Baileys, bourbon, or almond liqueur. Experiment with spices like cardamom, cloves, or ginger for a personalized touch.
- Sweetness: Adjust the sweetness based on your preference. Some eggnogs are already quite sweet, so consider skipping the added sugar or using brown sugar for a richer flavor.
Texture:
- Creaminess: For a lighter punch, use low-fat eggnog or substitute some coffee ice cream. For a rich, decadent experience, blend in frozen vanilla bean ice cream or whipped cream.
- Ice: Freeze small coffee ice cubes or berries for a festive touch that won’t dilute the punch as quickly.
- Presentation: Garnish with flair – Top each glass with whipped cream, a sprinkle of nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, chocolate shavings, or even mini gingerbread cookies.
- Ice ring wow: Freeze coffee and water in a bundt pan for a stunning ice ring that slowly melts and infuses the punch with extra coffee flavor.
- Make two batches – one spiked for adults and one non-alcoholic for guests of all ages.
Enjoy your delicious and festive eggnog coffee punch!
