Eggnog Recipe

Fresh, Creamy, and Homemade

This homemade eggnog is smooth, rich, and creamy because it is made from whole milk, cream, eggs, nutmeg, and rum. Serve for a Christmas brunch or evening Christmas Party or house hopping.

Not everyone is a fan of this rich, frothy drink, but for those who are, this recipe has everything you are looking for.

One of the main gripes I hear about commercial eggnog is that it is syrupy sweet and too thick. This recipe is fresh tasting and smooth.

Although made with real rum, this drink recipe can also be made into a non-alcoholic version with the substitution of rum flavoring or extract.

In my personal opinion, this is the best homemade egg nog recipe you will ever make! Try it yourself and see.

Just a note though, it will only be good for a few days, so make this no earlier than the night before you want to serve it for best taste. It is also quite filling.
