Notes
- You can make this milkshake lighter by using low-fat eggnog and reduced-fat ice cream.
- For an extra boost of flavor, add a splash of rum extract or a shot of rum for an adult version.
- If you prefer a thicker milkshake, add more vanilla ice cream or reduce the amount of eggnog.
- For a dairy-free version, use dairy-free eggnog and non-dairy vanilla ice cream.
- Garnish with a cinnamon stick for a more festive look.
- You can make this ahead of time and store it in the freezer, but give it a quick stir before serving to bring back the smooth texture.
- This milkshake can also be made into a float by adding a scoop of ice cream on top of eggnog soda.
