The Holiday Cocktail Tradition

cognac

When the weather turns crisp and the lights start to twinkle, there’s one indulgent tradition that captures the spirit of the season in a single sip: egg nog. Rich, creamy, spiced, and slightly boozy—it’s the liquid version of a cozy fireplace and your favorite holiday sweater. And at Left Bank, we’ve taken this nostalgic classic and given it a sultry Southern twist.

The Left Bank Egg Nog

Our version isn’t your average store-bought carton. This is egg nog elevated—crafted for those who savor the art of a good pour and the warmth of good company. Here's what goes into our signature blend:

• Left Bank Bourbon – The soul of our nog. Smooth, robust, and just smoky enough to stand out in the cream.

• Cognac – For depth and a hint of holiday opulence.

• Orange Liqueur – Adds brightness and a citrusy pop that cuts the richness beautifully.

• Heavy Cream & Egg Whites – The velvety duo that gives egg nog its famously indulgent texture. Whipped to a cloudlike froth that feels like sipping silk.

• Nutmeg & Cinnamon Sticks – The classic spice combo. We shave fresh nutmeg over each glass and stir it with a cinnamon stick, because details matter.

A Toast to Tradition

Egg nog has a long, boozy history—dating back to British aristocrats who mixed eggs and cream with brandy and sherry. In America, it found new life with bourbon and rum, becoming a holiday mainstay from colonial taverns to modern-day cocktail bars.

At Left Bank, we honor this tradition with reverence and creativity. Our bourbon whisky is made in small batches, chilled to perfection, and served with a wink of nostalgia and a punch of flavor.

How to Enjoy It

Order one fireside, savor it with friends, or take a bottle home to elevate your holiday gathering. Pair it with spiced cookies, roasted nuts, or just the crackle of a good playlist. And remember: one glass is festive, two is tradition, and three... well, that’s between you and Santa.

Cheers to holiday spirits—literally. Purchase a bottle of Left Bank and raise a glass of egg nog to the most wonderful time of the year.
