    I don't know about you, but I am looking forward to a little holiday cheer after what has been an incredibly interesting year.

    Though large gatherings are on hold for the time being, I am still getting excited to decorate and enjoy the season with family and close friends.

    I am so looking forward to gathering up my favorite holiday decorations and letting the festivities begin!

    And of course, everyone knows that there is no better way to decorate than with a specialty holiday drink in hand.

    This year I am shaking up my favorite holiday cocktail with this Almond Roca Sugar-Free Eggnog.

    You won't believe how deliciously easy this recipe is, thanks to Torani Sugar Free Almond Roca Syrup.

    I love Torani Syrups because they are made with simple, thoughtfully sourced ingredients.

    Crafted to bring out the best in drinks, they mix well and allow you to create something uniquely your own easily!

    One flavor works for endless recipes, but as delicious as they are, you don't even need a recipe. You can simply stir a spoonful into your coffee, hot chocolate, or latte for an everyday treat!

    Whatever your holidays look like this year, here's to them being as sweet as ever.

    Ingredients

    Milk: I prefer whole milk here, but use what works for you

    Half and Half: For an extra rich option, heavy cream works too.

    Torani Sugar Free Almond Roca Syrup: With just five calories per serving, this delicious syrup is the perfect way to add flavor and sweetness to cocktails. Nutty and chocolatey and full of that buttercrunch flavor of the much-loved candy, it is the easiest way I know to take flavors to the next level.

    Egg Yolks: I used large eggs. Make sure the mixture reaches 160° F to ensure safety.

    Alcohol: This is optional - you can go the mocktail route if you like. Rum, brandy, and bourbon are all great options. If you want, you can use a combination.

    Vanilla Extract: Use the best quality you can. It adds a nice pop of flavor.

    Cinnamon: I am a big fan of Ceylon cinnamon, but any cinnamon works here.

    Make-Ahead

    Make this up to one day ahead of time and kept in a chilled container in the refrigerator.

    Scaling the Recipe

    Feel free to scale this recipe for entertaining. Just click on the number of servings in the recipe card and adjust to suit your needs.

    Variations

    • Make this a mocktail by omitting the alcohol.
    • If you prefer, you can use nutmeg in place of the cinnamon.
    • Make this recipe keto-friendly by omitting the milk and half and half and using all heavy cream.

    How to Make Almond Roca Sugar Free Eggnog

    First, start by combining the milk, ½ cup of the half and half, and Torani Sugar-Free Almond Roca Syrup in a dutch oven over medium-low heat.

      DELICIOUS! I tried this recipe during a work holiday party (because we had some sugar sensitive people in attendance) and it was incredible. You couldn't tell it was sugar free at all.
