This quick and easy eggnog latte recipe is perfect for using up leftover eggnog and makes every morning feel like Christmas morning.

Eggnog and I have always had a love/hate relationship. I love it, but I can only drink about two or three sips before all that thick, sweet creaminess starts to be way too much.

Still, I love having it on hand around the holidays to use in recipes (like my favorite Christmas cookies) so in December, I always have multiple bottles go to waste where I’ve only used like a third of a cup.

Well, you know how I feel about food waste, so I decided to find some more ways to use up leftover eggnog, and this is one of my favorites, an eggnog latte!!

What does an eggnog latte taste like?

If you’ve ever had a Starbucks eggnog latte, you know that it’s the best of all worlds.

You have that strong, delicious eggnog flavor, but the milk and coffee keep it from being thick and overwhelming. Plus it’s caffeinated so you’ll have energy for all that Christmas prep I’m sure you already have a head start on…

In my perfect world, all winter mornings would start with an eggnog latte (and maybe a giant Christmas cookie and a handful of gingerbread cookies).

Ingredients

  • Eggnog: Any eggnog will work in this recipe including non-dairy eggnogs.
  • Milk: Use whatever milk you prefer. The higher fat the milk, the creamier your latte will be. For an extra creamy drink, replace some of the milk with a splash of half and half or heavy cream.
  • Strong coffee or espresso: You can use espresso or coffee brewed at double strength (or just regular old coffee for a more mild latte–it’s still delicious). Instant espresso powder* is a handy thing to keep stocked in your pantry for coffee and for baking in general (it will give your chocolate desserts a nice kick). You can order it online and also find it in a little jar in the coffee aisle at most grocery stores.
  • Sugar: Depending on how sweet your eggnog is and how sweet you like your lattes, you can add just a little sugar to make this coffee your perfect level of sweet.

How to Make an Eggnog Latte

  1. Heat eggnog and milk together on the stove and whisk until frothy.
  2. Pour milk and eggnog mixture over coffee.
  3. Sweeten with sugar if you prefer a sweeter latte.
  4. Drink and enjoy!
