Oh.
My.
Goodness.
Do I have a recipe for you!!! Um, this is a shot of holiday spirit. Literally. It doesn’t get much more festive than spiked eggnog. I’m not talking about pouring Grandpa’s old whiskey into a cup of eggnog. Nope. This is much more fun!
Bring one tray of these suckers to the ugly sweater party and you will be guaranteed an invite next year. They’re creamy, spiked and seasoned. They’ll blow the hot toddy out of the water 😉
Ingredients:
- 1 cup of whipped cream flavored vodka
- 1 cup of eggnog (I used light, but you can use regular)
- 1 packet of vanilla instant pudding
- 1 tub of cool whip
- whipped cream ( to garnish)
- nutmeg (to garnish)
Directions:
Set up squeezable shot glasses on a tray first (get them here). Hmmm, you know it’s going to be a fun time when a recipe starts off like this…
In a big bowl, combine cool whip, vodka, eggnog, and pudding mix. I used an electric hand mixer to make sure it was nice and smooth.
Use a rubber spatula to scrape the sides of the bowl about half way through mixing.
Fill the squeeze cups! This part can get messy. I use a cookie scoop (looks like a mini ice cream scoop) and it works the best leaving minimal spillage 😉
Refrigerate for at least an hour to allow the pudding to set.
Garnish with a squirt of whipped cream and a dusting of nutmeg.
You can make these babies the day before if you’d like. Garnish them right before serving.
These are the perfect treat to bring to a holiday party to spread some cheer! Be prepared to be the hit of the party 🙂

Yummy!!! My youngest will be turning 21 on Christmas Eve. Wouldn’t this be a treat to add to our double celebration 🙂 wondering where you found the little condiment cups? Party supply store maybe? Thanks for the great post! Happy holidays!
What a perfect occasion to make them! Yes I bought the squeeze cups at the party store. Enjoy 🙂
How many does the recipe make? Excited to try them for my party this weekend!
One batch yields about 30 small squeeze cups. Cheers!
Awesome – plan on making this for my Christmas party! Two questions though – What size vanilla pudding packet did you use? Do you know about how many shots this made (and the size of your shot cups)?
Thanks!! 🙂
This recipe yields about 30 small squeeze cups. The pudding packet is 3.4 ounces. It’s the regular size one, not the big box. Cheers!
To avoid messy spillage for the pouring stage, put the mixture from the bowl into a large ziplock baggie and snip the corner off (a decently sized snip, not just the tip). Pipe like icing into cups. No mess! 🙂
GENIUS!!!
Are you supposed to make the pudding mix according to the box directions (with milk) or just the powder packet?
Just the powder. The eggnog and vodka act as the milk 🙂
can i replace the vodka with milk for the young ones?
Absolutely! Or double up the eggnog!
How about vanilla vodka? Thoughts?
Would totally work
What size Cool Whip do you use and how do you think the extra creamy kind would do? Can’t wait to try these tonight!
I use the regular size cool whip. Any kid will do. I’ve used them all. Extra creamy will make them a little thicker. Enjoy!!!
How strong are these? Would it hurt to add a 1/2 cup more vodka, or would it turn out too strong/watery then?
I think they’re just strong enough. If you want to do 1.5 cups of vodka then I’d cut the eggnog to half a cup. This way the amount of liquid still equals 2 cups. The consistency should still be good.
These sound delish! Thanks for sharing! Do you think rum would be good incorporated into this recipe? I have always added rum to my eggnog!!
If you like rum in your eggnog, then you should definitely try it in this recipe!
Is regular size cool whip 8oz or 12oz?
8
