Combining store-bought eggnog with whole milk, peppermint schnapps, and crushed peppermint candies, this punch is both refreshing and indulgent.

Ingredients

Scale

Base Ingredients

  • 4 cups store-bought eggnog
  • 1 cup whole milk
  • 1 cup peppermint schnapps
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Add-ins and Garnishes

  • 1/2 cup crushed peppermint candies (plus extra for garnish)
  • 1 cup whipped cream
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh peppermint leaves for garnish
  • Ground nutmeg for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine Eggnog and Milk: In a large mixing bowl, combine the store-bought eggnog and whole milk. Whisk together until fully blended and smooth.
  2. Add Peppermint Schnapps and Vanilla: Add in the peppermint schnapps and vanilla extract. Continue to whisk gently to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
  3. Incorporate Crushed Peppermint Candies: Stir in the crushed peppermint candies, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Fold in Whipped Cream: In a separate bowl, beat the whipped cream until soft peaks form. Gently fold the whipped cream into the eggnog mixture until just combined, creating a light and creamy texture.
  5. Prepare Punch Bowl: Fill a punch bowl or large serving pitcher with ice cubes to chill the punch.
  6. Pour the Eggnog Mixture: Carefully pour the eggnog mixture over the ice cubes in the punch bowl or pitcher, making sure it stays cold and refreshing.
  7. Serve with Garnishes: To serve, ladle the punch into glasses and top each serving with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg and additional crushed peppermint candies for garnish.
  8. Add Fresh Peppermint Leaves: For an extra festive touch, add a fresh peppermint leaf to each glass.

Notes

  • This recipe contains alcohol; for a non-alcoholic version, omit peppermint schnapps and increase milk or eggnog accordingly.
  • Be careful not to overmix the whipped cream to maintain a light and airy texture.
  • Crushed peppermint candies may dissolve slightly, adding extra minty flavor — adjust quantity based on your preferred intensity.
  • Ensure the punch is served cold for the best refreshing taste.
  • Use fresh peppermint leaves as a natural garnish to enhance aroma and presentation.
