- 2 oz eggnog (store-bought or homemade)
- 3 oz chilled champagne or sparkling wine
- 1/2 oz spiced rum (optional for extra warmth)

Instructions
- Chill the Glass:

- Add 2 oz of eggnog to the chilled flute, filling it about one-third of the way.
- Add Champagne:
- Slowly top the eggnog with chilled champagne or sparkling wine, filling the glass almost to the top. Pour gently to avoid overflowing or excessive bubbles.

Notes
- Adjust the ratio of eggnog and champagne based on your personal preference for a creamier or lighter drink.
- For a non-alcoholic version, simply skip the spiced rum and use non-alcoholic champagne or sparkling water.
- If you prefer a slightly sweeter drink, you can add a little bit of powdered sugar to the eggnog before mixing.
