Whiskey brand Elijah Craig on Tuesday announced the launch of "Craig Nog," a limited-edition, luxury eggnog cocktail designed for its award-winning Elijah Craig Small Batch Bourbon.
Craig Nog takes the flavors of eggnog and adds Madagascar Vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg and allspice, topped with gold glitter-adorned star anise and a bourbon barrel-aged stir stick. The ingredients are anchored by the proof and flavor of Elijah Craig bourbon to create a well-balanced holiday cocktail.
The Craig Nog cocktail kit, available to order nationwide, features a 375-milliliter 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.
Throughout December, those based in New York City and Chicago can also enjoy Craig Nog in prebatched 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.
"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. 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," said Lynn House, national spirits specialist and portfolio mixologist at Elijah Craig.
