This will be a first for me. I’m going to make my own eggnog!! That said, I will also mix cocktails with the store-bought eggnog the wife brought home. Waste-not, want-not. But back to the home brew. It doesn’t look that hard. Lots of recipes on the interweb. The basic ingredients are below.
I don’t really care if it’s better than the store stuff. I just want to casually mention to people that I make my own eggnog from scratch. Most of the people I know will be impressed. Cheers!
