Ingredients
- 1 cup eggnog
- 1 cup ice
- 1 shot espresso
- Whipped cream
- Ground nutmeg
Instructions
- Brew a fresh shot of espresso and allow it to cool to room temperature. If you don't have an espresso machine, you can use strong brewed coffee as an alternative.
- Select a high-powered blender and add the cup of ice first to ensure a smooth, frosty texture.
- Pour the full cup of cold eggnog directly over the ice, ensuring an even distribution for consistent blending.
- Add the cooled espresso shot to the blender, which will provide a rich coffee undertone to the festive drink.
- Blend the mixture on high speed for 30-45 seconds until the consistency is smooth, creamy, and frothy with no large ice chunks.
- Carefully pour the blended frappuccino into a tall glass, leaving about an inch of space at the top for garnishing.
- Top the drink generously with whipped cream, creating a fluffy white peak.
- Sprinkle ground nutmeg over the whipped cream in a light, even dusting to enhance the Halloween and seasonal flavor profile.
- Serve immediately with a wide straw for optimal enjoyment of the creamy, festive beverage.
Tips
- Espresso Temperature Matters: Allow your espresso to cool to room temperature to prevent melting the ice and diluting the drink's intense flavors.
- Blending Technique: Start with ice at the bottom of the blender for smoother, more consistent blending and to achieve that perfect frappuccino texture.
- Nutmeg Sprinkle Hack: Use a fine mesh strainer when dusting nutmeg to create an even, delicate layer that looks professionally garnished.
- Whipped Cream Pro Tip: For an extra festive touch, consider using a piping bag to create a more dramatic whipped cream topping that resembles a ghostly peak.
- Customization Options: Feel free to adjust the espresso-to-eggnog ratio to suit your personal taste preferences or caffeine tolerance.
- Make It Ahead: You can prep the cooled espresso and measured ingredients in advance to make quick assembly a breeze during busy Halloween preparations.
