Description

The Peppermint Bark Eggnog is a Christmas cocktail that was created by Tom Maey at Clover Club in New York City, New York and was first published in the book Winter Drinks: 70 Essential Cold-Weather Cocktails. The recipe is described as "the drink version of mint chocolate chip ice cream," which is pretty spot on because it combines egg white and egg yolk with spiced rum, cream, mint, and chocolate to create a thick, dessert-inspired concoction. This version also adds in simple syrup for more sweetness and has a fun candy cane rim.
