Eggnog is a dairy based beverage made with milk, cream, eggs, and sugar. Known as a Christmas and New Year's tradition, eggnog can be purchased pre-made or can be made at home. Please note that some recipes call for uncooked eggs. Use pasteurized eggs to avoid any risk of salmonella. If you do not have pasteurized eggs, our page of cooked eggnog recipes will also provide a safe way to enjoy eggnog!

When adding liquor to your eggnog, some of the more common options are brandy, spiced rum, and Kahlua. In a tall glass of eggnog add a shot of liquor, or 1 cup of liquor per quart of eggnog. While some eggnog can be thicker than others, a recommended taste test, as you gradually add your alcohol, is always best.
