There is no more heart-warming sight at Christmas than an overflowing bowl of frothy eggnog, whether it is a non-alcoholic eggnog recipe or one of many alcoholic eggnog recipes spiked with your favorite rum or brandy. Nor is there a finer way to entertain a large group of friends. But remember that for hundreds of years authentic eggnog has always required rum or brandy. There are no two ways about it. And for truly great eggnog, what you need is light-bodied rum that is deliciously smooth. Learn how to make eggnog from the old-fashioned eggnog recipes below. |
