Mandarin Eggnog

Eggnog, though delicious, can be too rich for some. Shaking it with ice and mandarin peel makes it both lighter and livelier. Then rum and Grand Marnier (LCBO 1784, $48.45) gild the lily.

1 In a cocktail shaker filled with ice, combine the peel of 1 mandarin orange, 2 oz amber rum, 2 oz Grand Marnier, 5 oz eggnog and a generous pinch nutmeg. Shake and strain into 8 mini coupe or cocktail glasses. Garnish each with additional mandarin peel. Makes 8 drinks
