I had a carton of eggnog sitting in the fridge with Christmas Eve bearing down on me, and I knew I had to use it for something besides my usual Eggnog Cheesecake. Cupcakes crossed my mind, then cookies, and then it hit me: martini.

This one came together before lunchtime, which either says something about my dedication to recipe development or my eagerness for a holiday cocktail. Probably both. Happy holidays.
