Method
 

To Make a Single Serving:
  1. In an 8 fl oz (240 ml) rocks glass or similar, combine 1 fl oz amaretto and 1 fl oz spiced rum; stir to combine. If desired, add ice for a chilled drink.
  2. Top with 6 fl oz chilled eggnog; stir to combine, taste, and adjust flavors as needed.
  3. Optionally top with whipped cream, cinnamon, or nutmeg to taste. Serve immediately. Store leftovers airtight in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; the alcohol helps preserve it, but dairy can spoil quickly, especially if left out at a party.
To Make a Pitcher:
  1. For a pitcher: Pour off some eggnog from the carton into a glass, then add the appropriate ounces of each alcohol to the plastic jug or carton, seal, and refrigerate. Shake well before serving to recombine. Measuring tip: For a 1/2 gallon (64 fl oz) container, pour off 8 to 10 fl oz eggnog, then add 4 to 5 fl oz each amaretto and spiced rum, seal, shake, taste, adjust if necessary, and serve.
Make Ahead Instructions:
  1. Make ahead: Prepare a pitcher of spiked eggnog up to 24 hours in advance. Mix in a pitcher or punch bowl, cover tightly with plastic wrap, and stir well before serving.
