We’re pretty sure that between both our families, we drink most of the local grocery stores supply of eggnog! Lol, we all LOVE eggnog – adults and the kids. In fact, we celebrate the first day one of us finds eggnog at the grocery store!
Having said that, we also mourn when we can no longer find eggnog. We decided that this year would be different. Needing to remedy the disappearance of our beloved eggnog…we created CUT’s Holiday Nog!
We did it! We’ve created a Holiday Nog that tastes just like eggnog, looks like eggnog, steams like eggnog, and is beloved like eggnog. Except there’s one difference – it’s NOT made with raw eggs!!
Although we love egg nog, we’ve often questioned the drinking of raw eggs. In our adventures of creating our own ‘egg nog’ we decided that we wouldn’t use eggs. We were successful!
One of the best ways to enjoy our new Holiday Nog was to pair it with an incredible coffee. There’s nothing better then feet up, relaxing on a Sunday afternoon, sipping a ‘Holiday Nog Latte’.
Seeking a dark roasted coffee to pair with our Holiday Nog, we found an amazing local coffee roaster. They have been roasting coffee in Calgary for the last 29 years! Fratello Coffee was a perfect match to our Holiday Nog.
“At Fratello Coffee Roasters, we believe that every varietal of coffee has its own unique character — our goal is to share that passion for discovering different flavours and cup profiles with our wholesale customers and the public at large. Consumers are embracing a new, more sophisticated coffee culture and we pride ourselves on helping to shape that culture by introducing new and exciting coffee varietals to coffee lovers all over Western Canada.”
“Fratello coffee is available through our many wholesale clients as well as our 5 Analog Coffee retail locations: located in the Calgary Farmers’ Market, 17th Avenue SW, Southcentre Mall, Bow Valley Square and in our roastery here in Calgary. We work directly with farmers in the world’s best coffee growing regions to produce a product that is not only delicious, but also ethically sourced. Roasted by expert coffee professionals at our own roasterie in Calgary, our coffee reflects both our family’s 29 years of experience and our commitment to acting as an innovator in the world of coffee.”
Grind the beans and get brewing your favourite espresso blend. Combine all the ingredients for our Holiday Nog in a large jar or container and shake well. This recipe for a Holiday Nog latte is a game changer this Christmas. Lol, not to mention you can make this treat all winter long! You are in control of your ‘eggnog’ supply. Let’s go and get your ‘latte art’ on!
If you’ve brewed an incredible cup of Fratello coffee, and are simply adding a splash of Holiday Nog, you’re ready to go! Enjoy:)
If you’re ‘up-ing’ your game and making a latte, then start steaming the Holiday Nog just as you would regular milks. Grind either the “Blackjack” or “Godfather” Fratello beans and prepare your shot. The perfect sip is only moments away. Happy Sunday!
(PS. It’s the holiday season and if a bit of rum is needed…lol, feel free! Or if sharing with minors, try adding a dash of rum extract instead.)
