Ninja Slushie Spiked Eggnog Recipe
This Ninja Slushie Spiked Eggnog Recipe is my favorite holiday treat. I always liked the idea of eggnog, but honestly, most store-bought stuff tastes kinda blah to me.
This Ninja Slushie Spiked Eggnog Recipe is smooth, creamy, and just the right mix of sweet and boozy. The perfect time to make and enjoy this drink is during holiday get-togethers or even on warm summer days.
Spiked eggnog is a classic drink where you add alcohol like bourbon to regular eggnog, making it tasty for grown-ups.
The Ninja Slushie turns it into a frozen treat that’s way better because it blends everything into a thick, icy mix that feels fresh and not too heavy.
Today, I am sharing this Ninja Slushie Spiked Eggnog with you so you can try it at home.
Why You’ll LOVE This Copycat Recipe
You will love this Ninja Slushie Spiked Eggnog Recipe because it takes only five minutes to make.I know you like drinks that feel special but are easy to make.
The Ninja Slushie makes it cold and soft. You do not need lots of bowls or long work. You put eggnog and bourbon in the machine and pick the “Spiked Slush” setting.
The machine does the rest. The drink looks nice in a glass. It tastes smooth.
I love how you can change the alcohol amount to fit what you like. Some days I want just a little bourbon, other days I want more kick. This recipe lets you control everything.
Ninja Slushie Spiked Eggnog Ingredients
- Eggnog – 2 cups (473 ml): Use your favorite store-bought eggnog or homemade if you have it. Eggnog is creamy and sweet, made with milk, cream, eggs, and sugar. If you want a lighter version, you can try low-fat eggnog or even almond milk eggnog, but the creamy texture is best for this recipe. I like the thick kind because it makes the slush more rich.
- Bourbon – ¾ cup (177 ml): Bourbon adds a smooth, warm flavor that pairs well with the sweet eggnog. You can substitute with whiskey or rum if you prefer. Just be careful with the amount because too much alcohol can make it too strong. I tried vodka once but it didn’t taste as good. Spiced rum works great too if you like that flavor.
- Ground Cinnamon (for garnish): This spice adds a warm, sweet smell and taste that finishes the drink nicely. You can use nutmeg or pumpkin spice instead if you like. Fresh nutmeg tastes better if you can grate it yourself, but ground works fine too.
Recommended Equipment
- Ninja Slushie Machine – Freezes and blends the drink into a smooth slush.
- Pyrex Measuring Cup – Makes measuring and pouring liquids easy.
- Martini Glass (or any glass you like) – For serving your drink in style.
- Small Spoon – For sprinkling cinnamon neatly on top.
How To Make Ninja Slushie Spiked Eggnog
Step 1 | Get Your Machine Ready
Take your Ninja Slushie machine out from storage and place it on a flat surface. Make sure it’s clean and dry before you start.
Step 2 | Measure and Add Eggnog
Measure 2 cups (473 ml) of eggnog using a Pyrex measuring cup. Pour the eggnog into the Ninja Slushie machine slowly so it doesn’t splash. Cold eggnog works best, so take it out of the fridge right before you use it. Room temperature eggnog takes longer to freeze.
Step 3 | Add Bourbon
Next, measure ¾ cup (177 ml) of bourbon and add it to the Ninja Slushie machine with the eggnog. Pour it in slowly and try not to let it splash too much. The alcohol will mix with the eggnog as the machine works. If you want less alcohol, start with ½ cup and add more later.
Step 4 | Select “Spiked Slush” Setting
Choose the “Spiked Slush” setting on your Ninja Slushie machine. This will freeze and mix the drink perfectly. The machine knows how to handle alcohol so it won’t freeze too hard. Let it run for about 2-3 minutes until you hear the sound change. The machine will stop when it’s done.
Step 5 | Pour the Drink
When it is ready, pour the frozen spiked eggnog into a martini glass or your favorite cup. Pour slowly because it’s thick like soft ice cream. If it seems too thick, let it sit for 30 seconds to soften a little. If it’s too thin, run the machine for 30 more seconds.
Step 6 | Garnish and Serve
Sprinkle a little ground cinnamon on top to add a nice touch of flavor and smell. Serve immediately and enjoy your refreshing Spiked Eggnog!
Recipe Perfection Tips
- Don’t overfill the machine: Stick to the recommended amounts for the best texture
- Clean after each use: Clean the machine after every batch to keep flavors fresh
- Add garnishes last: Add garnishes right before serving for the best look
- Use room-temp bourbon: Make sure your bourbon is at room temperature before adding
- Fix too-thick mix: If it’s too thick, lower the temperature setting on the machine
What goes well with spiked eggnog
Spiked eggnog pairs great with sweet treats that balance its creamy richness. I love having it with holiday cookies like gingerbread or shortbread because the creamy drink balances the spice and sweetness.
It’s also great with salty snacks – pretzels, cheese crackers, or mixed nuts make the eggnog taste even richer.
If you want something more filling, a slice of warm apple pie or pumpkin bread is a perfect match. The mix of cold, creamy eggnog and warm, baked treats is unbeatable.
How To Store Leftovers Properly
If you have leftover Ninja Slushie Spiked Eggnog, pour it into a freezer-safe container with a lid. Keep it in the freezer for up to 1 week.
When you want to enjoy it again, let it thaw at room temperature for about 10–15 minutes, then stir or blend to bring back the slush texture.
I don’t recommend storing it in the fridge because it will lose its frozen consistency and separate. If the drink smells sour, tastes off, or looks curdled, it’s time to throw it out.
Ninja Slushie Spiked Eggnog Recipe FAQs
1. Can I make this without alcohol?
Yes, you can skip the bourbon and make a regular frozen eggnog. Add 1 cup of milk instead of the bourbon to keep the right amount of liquid. The machine will still work the same way, but it will freeze faster without alcohol.
2. Why won’t my Ninja Slushie machine make this recipe smooth?
Your machine might need more liquid if the mixture is too thick. Add 2 tablespoons of milk and try again. Old eggnog can be chunky and won’t blend well. Make sure your eggnog is fresh and smooth before you start.
3. How strong is this drink?
This recipe makes a medium-strength drink. The ¾ cup of bourbon mixed with 2 cups of eggnog gives you about 1 shot of alcohol per serving. If you want it weaker, use ½ cup of bourbon instead.
4. What if I don’t have a Ninja Slushie machine?
You can use a regular blender with lots of ice, but it won’t taste the same. Add 1 cup of ice cubes to your blender with the eggnog and bourbon. Blend until smooth, but it will be more like a milkshake than a slush.
