With the launch of our November/December issue, we’re officially kickstarting the holiday season with today’s Drink of
the Week—and our current cover cocktail—the Spiced Nog Flip. A good nog is essential
during the holidays, but if you don’t want to deal with mixing up a large batch,
try this one-cup variation from Victoria, BC, bartender Nate Caudle. Combining
spiced rum, baking spices, half-and-half and a whole egg, it’s the perfect
cold-weather cocktail when you’re craving some simple seasonal sipping.
