Indulge in the dark side of holiday cheer with the Death Star Nog. This opulent, winter-spiced elixir is a complex re-imagining of the classic eggnog, leveraging the bold, warm notes of Belmont Farms Chai Spiced Rum from Virginia alongside aromatic cinnamon and black walnut bitters. Its incredibly smooth, velvety texture—achieved through the classic dry shake—delivers a custardy, rich mouthfeel that’s perfect for sophisticated seasonal sipping. Served in an elegant Nick and Nora glass, this cocktail is a decadent journey for fans of rum and rich, sweet, creamy cocktails.
Prep: Gather the Belmont Farms Chai Spiced Rum, heavy cream, whole egg, Demerara syrup, cinnamon tincture, and black walnut bitters. Add all liquid ingredients into a cocktail shaker without ice.
Mix: Vigorously shake the contents for approximately 30-40 seconds, ensuring the egg and cream are fully emulsified to create a light, frothy texture.
Shake: Add a small scoop of fresh ice to the shaker (about half a scoop). Seal the shaker and continue to shake forcefully for another 40 seconds to thoroughly chill and slightly dilute the mixture.
Serve: Double-strain the entire, rich contents into a chilled Nick and Nora glass, being careful to maintain the velvety foam layer.
Garnish: Finish the presentation with a light dusting of powdered cinnamon over the foam.
