I’ve previously railed about candy drinks and candy martinis specifically. \u00a0 (You can seem my prior opinions at The Martini, Part Two<\/a>)\u00a0 I suppose I shouldn’t be surprised by an Eggnog Martini.\u00a0 And would that be ‘Eggnogini’?\u00a0 But, really????<\/p>\n

Now there is no doubt in my mind that these sweet, spicy, tongue-coatingly thick concoctions will be absolutely scrumptiously decadently delicious.\u00a0 (Not to mention wonderfully fattening!)<\/p>\n

And I do love Eggnog!\u00a0 Plain or even with a little Kahlua or Spiced Rum!\u00a0 I’m sure I’d enjoy all of these Eggnog “Martini”s.\u00a0\u00a0 So enjoy your luscious libation.\u00a0 But its NOT a Martini.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n
