This Holiday Vegan Firenog beverage will set you free. It is an adaptation of traditional Eggnog but this is vegan so all guests can participate, and if you are a cinnamon fan, it will light your fire. Using Cinnamon whisky Fireball instead of bourbon, it has a great taste that can be dressed up with extra cinnamon and nutmeg. Hot or cold it is a winner.
