Eggnog Latte is a creamy holiday coffee made with rich eggnog, espresso, and a touch of nutmeg. This easy Starbucks-inspired drink takes just minutes to make at home and has all the cozy flavors of the holiday season.
I love making this when eggnog starts showing up in stores. It’s warm, creamy, and gives me that coffee-shop holiday drink without having to leave the house.
Why I love Eggnog Latte
About the Ingredients ⭐
- Eggnog: Use your favorite store-bought or homemade eggnog.
- Heavy Cream: Makes the latte rich and creamy. Half-and-half or whole milk can also be used.
- Espresso: Use espresso or strong brewed coffee.
- My Instant Pot Coffee Concentrate also works great here.
- Frothed Milk or Cream: Adds the creamy, foamy topping to the latte.
- Nutmeg: Optional, but adds classic eggnog flavor and makes a nice garnish.

How to Make an Eggnog Latte
1 – Warm the Eggnog: Heat the eggnog and heavy cream in a small saucepan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes. Do not let it boil.
2 – Add the Coffee: Pour 4 ounces of strong coffee or espresso into a mug.
3 – Add the Eggnog: Pour 1 cup of the warm eggnog mixture over the coffee.
4 – Top & Garnish: Top with froth or whipped topping and sprinkle with nutmeg. ☕🎄
Tips I Found Helpful 💙
- Don’t boil the eggnog: Warm it gently over medium heat so it stays smooth and creamy.
- Use strong coffee: Espresso or strongly brewed coffee keeps the coffee flavor from getting lost in the eggnog.
- Adjust the richness: Use half-and-half or whole milk instead of heavy cream for a lighter latte.
- Froth before serving: Froth the warm mixture for that coffee-shop-style finish.
- Add nutmeg last: A little freshly grated nutmeg on top adds great holiday flavor. ☕🎄
