This festive season, we’re pouring something a little unexpected: Shekeela Karoonog.
Creamy, comforting and gently spirited, it pairs the familiar warmth of a classic holiday favourite with the smooth, distinctive character of Shekeela.
It’s indulgent without being over the top, the kind of drink made for slow evenings, shared stories and second helpings. Easy to mix, easier to enjoy, and perfect for bringing a fresh twist to your festive table.
If you give it a go, tell us how you poured yours. We’ll be raising a glass right alongside you.
Ingredients:
45 ml Shekeela
120 ml fresh eggnog
Freshly grated nutmeg, to garnish
