Elijah Craig is putting an elevated twist on a beloved holiday tradition with the launch of Craig Nog, a new limited-edition, luxury eggnog cocktail. 

Craig Nog takes the nostalgic flavors of eggnog and raises the bar with superior ingredients like Madagascar Vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice, and is topped with gold glitter adorned star anise and a Bourbon barrel aged stir stick, the company notes. The decadent ingredients are anchored by the proof and bold flavor of Elijah Craig Bourbon to create a deliciously well-balanced holiday cocktail, it says.

“One of my fondest holiday memories is of my grandmother whipping up a batch of her famous eggnog– the adults would always spike their cup with a little Kentucky love,” said Lynn House, national spirits specialist and portfolio mixologist at Elijah Craig Bourbon, in a statement. “While nostalgia inspired the creation of Craig Nog, we wanted to breathe new life into the beverage. The complexity of flavors found in Elijah Craig Bourbon were the perfect upgrade to begin with.

“Elijah Craig was the first distiller to age his whiskey in new charred oak barrels starting in the late 1700s, right around the time that eggnog as we know it was first invented,” House continues. “With the launch of Craig Nog, we’re bringing two iconic flavors together to elevate holiday drinking while maintaining the integrity of a tradition so many of us hold near and dear.”

The Craig Nog cocktail kit, available to order nationwide, features a 375-ml bottle of Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon, premeasured portions of each of the Craig Nog eggnog ingredients and a limited-edition etched Elijah Craig pitcher. Throughout December, those based in New York City and Chicago also can enjoy Craig Nog in pre-batched and ready-to-drink cans by ordering through the Doordash app or website.
