All year, I look forward to drinking eggnog during the holidays. This luscious milk-based, nutmeg-infused drink is one of the best parts of Christmas. To me, having a glass of warm, spiced eggnog is just as traditional as decorating a tree or watching the first snowfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eggnog is one of those things where either you absolutely love it or you can\u2019t stand it. And y\u2019all, I get it. But if you\u2019ve ever had real, homemade eggnog, you\u2019re guaranteed to be a fan. This version is unapologetically rich and boozy in the most celebratory of ways.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It\u2019s time to turn up the Charlie Brown Christmas Album (my favorite), zip up the footie PJs and enjoy a cup (or two) of indulgently smooth Homemade Eggnog. You\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_69_1 ez-toc-wrap-left-text counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #bf368f;color:#bf368f\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #bf368f;color:#bf368f\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 eztoc-toggle-hide-by-default' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/homemade-eggnog\/#Perks_and_Highlights_of_the_Best_Eggnog_Recipe\" title=\"Perks and Highlights of the Best Eggnog Recipe\">Perks and Highlights of the Best Eggnog Recipe<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/homemade-eggnog\/#History_of_Eggnog\" title=\"History of Eggnog\">History of Eggnog<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-3\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/homemade-eggnog\/#Ingredients\" title=\"Ingredients\">Ingredients<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-4\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/homemade-eggnog\/#How_to_Make_Eggnog\" title=\"How to Make Eggnog\">How to Make Eggnog<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-5\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/homemade-eggnog\/#Variations\" title=\"Variations\">Variations<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-6\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/homemade-eggnog\/#Storage\" title=\"Storage\">Storage<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-7\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/homemade-eggnog\/#Best_Eggnog_Recipes\" title=\"Best Eggnog Recipes\">Best Eggnog Recipes<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-8\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/homemade-eggnog\/#Homemade_Eggnog\" title=\"Homemade Eggnog\">Homemade Eggnog<\/a><ul class='ez-toc-list-level-3' ><li class='ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-9\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/homemade-eggnog\/#Want_to_Save_This_Recipe_Boo\" title=\"Want to Save This Recipe, Boo?\">Want to Save This Recipe, Boo?<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-10\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/homemade-eggnog\/#Ingredients-2\" title=\"Ingredients\">Ingredients<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-11\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/homemade-eggnog\/#Instructions\" title=\"Instructions\">Instructions<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-12\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/homemade-eggnog\/#Notes\" title=\"Notes\">Notes<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-3'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-13\" href=\"https:\/\/grandbaby-cakes.com\/homemade-eggnog\/#Nutrition\" title=\"Nutrition\">Nutrition<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-perks-and-highlights-of-the-best-eggnog-recipe\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Perks_and_Highlights_of_the_Best_Eggnog_Recipe\"><\/span>Perks and Highlights of the Best Eggnog Recipe<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Cuisine Inspiration: Holiday Comfort<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Primary Cooking Method: Whisk &amp;

While culinary historians debate its exact origins, most agree eggnog originated from the early medieval British \u201cposset\u201d, a hot, milky ale-like drink. Milk, eggs and sherry were foods of the wealthy, so eggnog was used to toast to prosperity and good health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once eggnog crossed the pond, in the 1700\u2019s, it became associated with the holidays. Since then, various versions of this thick, creamy cocktail have popped up all around the world! From Mexico\u2019s \u201crompope\u201d to Puerto Rico\u2019s \u201ccoquito\u201d, this deliciously decadent drink has found its way into countless holiday traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"961\" data-pin-description=\"Decadent Old-Fashioned Homemade Eggnog is incredibly easy to make and so dang tasty!

No oven to preheat, no excessive amount of ingredients and no mess. Does it get any better? Let me answer that: no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Here\u2019s how we\u2019re mixing up holiday magic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Eggs<\/strong>&#8211; for those of you who are worried about consuming raw eggs, history and science has proven that with enough booze, bacteria will not be an issue. But, because I got your back, I also chose to slightly cook the eggnog to cast a wider safety net.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Granulated Sugar<\/strong>&#8211; everyone has a preference when it comes to the sweetness of their eggnog. Feel free to adjust the measurement according to your own personal tastes.<br>Milk- to achieve a super smooth texture, I suggest using a high-quality whole milk.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heavy Cream-<\/strong> this is definitely not a dairy-free friendly recipe. So, pop a lactaid and enjoy yourself a tall glass of this heavy cream laden cocktail. Again, be sure to use a high-quality option.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vanilla-<\/strong> just a splash adds the necessary rustic, floral aroma.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ground Nutmeg-<\/strong> if possible, I encourage you to freshly grind the nutmeg for a warmer, more pungent result.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Salt-<\/strong> seems a bit strange, I know. Salt just helps to balance out the sugars and makes the other flavors POP.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Optional: Bourbon-<\/strong> this recipe can also work with whiskey or a dark rum, it\u2019s all about personal preference. Liquor just adds that extra layer of oaky, full-bodied warmth.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-how-to-make-eggnog\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Make_Eggnog\"><\/span>How to Make Eggnog<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Yolks, Please!<\/strong>: Start with the heart of the nog; the eggs. You&#8217;ll need to separate those babies because for this recipe, it&#8217;s yolks only. Grab six of them and whisk away with sugar in a medium-sized bowl until you&#8217;ve got a fluffy, buttery yellow dream.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Heat Things Up<\/strong>: Now, take your milk and heavy cream to a cozy simmer in a pot over medium heat. You&#8217;re not boiling a brew here; you just need it hot enough to mingle with the yolks.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Temper, Temper<\/strong>: Here&#8217;s where you need to be swift! Take a tablespoon of your hot milk mixture and stir it into your yolks to temper them. Repeat this quick-fire process twice more. This step makes sure your eggs get used to the heat slowly and don\u2019t scramble!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Mixology Time<\/strong>: Now, whisk your tempered egg mixture into the pot of milk. This is the moment of transformation, where it all starts coming together. Stir in the bourbon (hello, happy holidays!), vanilla, and a pinch of salt.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peaks and Valleys<\/strong>: In a clean, separate bowl, beat your leftover egg whites with a dash of sugar until you see stiff peaks forming. This is your cloud-like meringue, a heavenly topper for your nog.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Serve with Flair<\/strong>: Pour your crafted eggnog into glasses with the enthusiasm of Santa on Christmas Eve. Crown each one with a generous spoonful of meringue, and a final dash of nutmeg.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cheers and Enjoy<\/strong>: Raise your glass! You&#8217;ve just created a masterpiece. Sip, savor, and let the holiday spirit wash over you.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\" data-pin-description=\"Decadent Old-Fashioned Homemade Eggnog is incredibly easy to make and so dang tasty!

Whether you\u2019re looking to update an old recipe or remix the leftovers, this peppermint twist is refreshingly delicious!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you say we mix things up a bit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Eggnog-<\/strong> ideally, this variation is paired with the eggnog recipe above. But, if you\u2019re looking to cut a few corners, store-bought eggnog will work as well. Just try to use something that isn\u2019t too sweet, we are adding ice cream after all.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Peppermint Ice Cream-<\/strong> I prefer to keep the original coloration of eggnog by using a dye-free peppermint ice cream. Minty, refreshing and creamy, peppermint ice cream makes for an iconic Winter treat! Peppermint Chip will work too!<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Club Soda-<\/strong> ice cream floats in the Winter? I say yes. Club soda lightens the drink and makes for an easier sip.<br>Crushed Peppermint- it\u2019s the holidays y\u2019all! We want razzle, dazzle and all things red and white. Totally optional though.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1013\" data-pin-description=\"Decadent Old-Fashioned Homemade Eggnog is incredibly easy to make and so dang tasty!

Before you refrigerate it, make sure it has properly cooled. Then pour the leftovers into an airtight container or mason jar, seal tightly, and place it in the fridge. It\u2019s best to place the container in the back corner of the fridge where the temperature is relatively stable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How do I tell if Eggnog is bad? Rely on your senses! Open the container and give the liquid a good whiff. If it starts smelling somewhat sour, it\u2019s past its prime and should be thrown out. Also check for discoloration or a lumpy texture. Better safe than sorry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"700\" height=\"1050\" data-pin-description=\"Decadent Old-Fashioned Homemade Eggnog is incredibly easy to make and so dang tasty!
