This recipe is an oldie, but a goodie. We make it every year around the holidays in the Test Kitchen, and had to pull it out of our recipe box again this year to highlight this classic. Rich, indulgent, and just a little effervescent, this is the perfect nightcap cocktail to close out any epic holiday celebration.

Why This Sparkling Almond Works Here
Napa Nog shines because it balances richness with brightness in every sip. The vanilla bean gelato creates a lush, creamy base, while Kahlúa adds roasted coffee notes and a touch of bittersweet depth. ONEHOPE Sparkling Almond layers in gentle bubbles and a delicate almond character that lifts the texture and keeps the drink from feeling too heavy. Cinnamon and nutmeg bring classic holiday warmth, turning this into a dessert cocktail that feels both nostalgic and modern. It’s a cozy, holiday cocktail that’s as perfect for a quiet night by the tree as it is for closing out an epic celebration with friends.
