Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 ounce simple syrup
  • 1 bar spoon vanilla extract
  • 3 ounces whole milk
  • 2 ounces brandy
  • nutmeg (preferably whole)
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Add the simple syrup, vanilla extract, whole milk and brandy to a cocktail shaker.
  • Fill the shaker with ice and shake well, about 15-20 times or until it is well chilled.
  • Add ice to your serving glass.
  • Strain the drink into the serving glass.
  • Grate nutmeg over top of the drink, or sprinkle ground nutmeg if you are not using a whole nutmeg, and serve.
  • If you are making a big batch of this cocktail, it will keep in the fridge in an airtight container until the expiration date of the milk used.

Notes

  • If you want to get this really frothy, shake it without ice first for about a minute before adding the ice and shaking again.
  • Substitute in almond milk or coconut milk/cream for a non-dairy version.
