Elijah Craig is putting a twist on a holiday tradition with the launch of “Craig Nog,” a new limited-edition, luxury eggnog cocktail designed for its award-winning Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon. 

Craig Nog takes the nostalgic flavors of eggnog and raises the bar with 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 ingredients are anchored by the proof and bold flavor of Elijah Craig Bourbon to create a deliciously well-balanced holiday cocktail.

The Craig Nog cocktail kit, available to order nationwide, provides an opportunity to slow down and enjoy the season while handcrafting your new signature holiday drink at home. It also makes a perfect gift. 

Each cocktail kit features a 375ml bottle of Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon, pre-measured portions of each of the Craig Nog eggnog ingredients and a limited-edition etched Elijah Craig pitcher, the perfect keepsake for remaking your Craig Nog for seasons to come.

Throughout December, those based in New York City and Chicago can also enjoy Craig Nog in pre-batched and ready to enjoy cans by ordering through the Doordash app or website. Each order will be delivered in a limited-edition Craig Nog tote bag, perfect for transporting to and from holiday gatherings.

“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,” Lynn House, National Spirits Specialist and Portfolio Mixologist at Elijah Craig Bourbon, said in a news release. “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.” 

Often fortified with brandy, eggnog is a popular seasonal beverage dating back hundreds of years that has firmly planted its roots in American culture. In the U.S., we consume more eggnog than any other country in the world, drinking more than 15 million gallons, or 240 million cups annually, per 2023 Smithsonian data. 

Craig Nog is available for preorder beginning December 3. If you’re 21+, visit www.elijahcraig.com/CraigNog to learn more and order.
