Don’t forget liqueurs like Kahlúa, Baileys, or even a splash of amaretto. They add sweetness and layers without needing much else. Why mix a whole cocktail when one bottle does the job? Kahlúa’s coffee notes are killer with eggnog—think holiday caffeine buzz.
Amaretto brings a nutty, almond vibe that feels fancy but is secretly simple. A little goes a long way, so treat it like a secret ingredient. Experiment with a combo: bourbon plus a splash of amaretto? You might just invent your new favorite tradition.
