Oakham Nub News has joined forces with a regular reader to share a 'Cocktail of the Week' feature.

This week, Josh is bringing you a festive tipple to beat all festive tipples. Think the sweetness of Baileys, the festive flavour of eggnog, and a splash of coffee to keep you up and partying this Christmas.

This cocktail is great as an after dinner treat, and pairs nicely with a mince pie for those who love a sugar overdose!

Ingredients: 

• 25ml amaretto
• 50ml Irish cream
• 25ml coffee liqueur
• 25ml coffee
• nutmeg

Method:

1. add all of your wet ingredients to a shaker with ice
2. grate a sprinkle of nutmeg into the shaker
3. shake until chilled
4. strain into a martini glass - or tumbler with ice if it is too strong for you
5. garnish with a dusting of nutmeg, coffee beans or chocolate sauce

Enjoy with a mince pie!

Check back next week for another Cocktail of the Week, shared each Friday to get the weekend going.
