This festive recipe makes thick, creamy eggnog that's perfectly spiced, safe to drink thanks to pasteurized yolks, and easily adjusted with or without rum for the holidays. ## What Is Eggnog? Eggnog is a thick, creamy, and dairy- and egg-based drink. It's traditionally made in large batches and served at holiday gatherings. It's often spiked with bourbon or rum, but it is also frequently served without alcohol. ### What Does Eggnog Taste Like? It's hard to explain the flavor of eggnog to someone who hasn't tasted it, but we'll try: Eggnog is custardy, rich, creamy, and sweet. It tastes a bit like melted ice cream that's been spiced with nutmeg. ## Eggnog Ingredients These are the ingredients you'll need to make this classic eggnog at home: - Milk and light cream: This traditional eggnog recipe contains milk and light cream - Spices and seasonings: You'll need cinnamon, cloves, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. - Egg yolks: Egg yolks thicken the mixture, creating a decadent texture. - Sugar: Of course, you'll need white sugar for this dessert-like beverage. - Rum: Spike your eggnog with light rum or leave it as-is for a non-alcoholic treat. ### What Alcohol Goes In Eggnog? This boozy eggnog recipe is spiked with light rum. You could also use brandy or bourbon, depending on what mood you're in and what you have on hand. Of course, if you'd like, you can leave out the liquor altogether. No matter how you serve it, everyone at your holiday party will love this cheery drink. ![Amazingly Good Eggnog]() ![Amazingly Good Eggnog](https://www.allrecipes.com/thmb/zOw8d31Xk9ZBl-gaUWiHNuNqCY0=/1500x0/filters:no_upscale\(\):max_bytes\(150000\):strip_icc\(\)/57028_Amazingly-Good-Eggnog_LZakaria_5911445_original-4x3-1-353783b9b19f46d89a68c52503ee2869.jpg) LZakaria ## How to Store Eggnog Store homemade eggnog in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you'd like to keep your eggnog for long, consider freezing it. ## Can You Freeze Eggnog? Yes, you can freeze eggnog for up to six months. Make sure to leave a few inches of room at the top of the container (the liquid will expand as it freezes). Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. ## Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise "This recipe has become a holiday tradition in our house," according to [Jayne Doe](https://www.allrecipes.com/cook/14708582). "It's important to make a day in advance, which will give the spices time to infuse into the eggnog." "I'll never buy store bought eggnog again," raves [Heather](https://www.allrecipes.com/cook/261584). "This recipe tastes exactly like the most expensive brands of eggnog. I left out the rum so my kids can partake, and we just add it in to taste. This recipe is pitch perfect — don't change a thing!" "This eggnog is so good it is ridiculous," says [NICCOFIVE](https://www.allrecipes.com/cook/1051284). "I don't even like eggnog and I loved it. My husband had four mugs of it, plus my husband also made a milkshake. I also gave some out to neighbors as a Christmas gift."

Made with our farm fresh eggs and Jersey milk. Did not add alcohol so that we can drink at breakfast. Super easy and Delicious!\! 05 of 61 ![]() Photo by Eat 04/30/2022 06 of 61 ![]() Photo by Tazchee 02/04/2021 THE BEST eggnog I’ve ever had. Even my husband, who typically doesn’t like eggnog, loves it. We adjusted by reducing the cloves to four (4); it was just too much cloves for us. My sister thinks it’s strong; she likes about half the alcohol. Tastes great non-alcoholic as well\! 07 of 61 ![]() Photo by Melody Ellis Morris 01/01/2021 08 of 61 ![]() Photo by Nicole Brubaker 11/12/2020 I use whole milk and heavy whipping cream...mmmm...

I did use whole milk, and the second batch I added 1 cup of brandy in addition to the rum, which I used spiced rum... I made the first batch for Christmas gifts. They called me to tell me how good it was after they gave it a taste\! 1. 1 2. [2](https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/57028/amazingly-good-eggnog/) 3.

Readable Markdown	Homemade eggnog is the perfect way to ring in the holiday season. This festive recipe makes thick, creamy eggnog that's perfectly spiced, safe to drink thanks to pasteurized yolks, and easily adjusted with or without rum for the holidays. ## What Is Eggnog? Eggnog is a thick, creamy, and dairy- and egg-based drink. It's traditionally made in large batches and served at holiday gatherings. It's often spiked with bourbon or rum, but it is also frequently served without alcohol. ### What Does Eggnog Taste Like? It's hard to explain the flavor of eggnog to someone who hasn't tasted it, but we'll try: Eggnog is custardy, rich, creamy, and sweet. It tastes a bit like melted ice cream that's been spiced with nutmeg. ## Eggnog Ingredients These are the ingredients you'll need to make this classic eggnog at home: - Milk and light cream: This traditional eggnog recipe contains milk and light cream - Spices and seasonings: You'll need cinnamon, cloves, vanilla extract, and nutmeg. - Egg yolks: Egg yolks thicken the mixture, creating a decadent texture. - Sugar: Of course, you'll need white sugar for this dessert-like beverage. - Rum: Spike your eggnog with light rum or leave it as-is for a non-alcoholic treat. ### What Alcohol Goes In Eggnog? This boozy eggnog recipe is spiked with light rum. You could also use brandy or bourbon, depending on what mood you're in and what you have on hand. Of course, if you'd like, you can leave out the liquor altogether. No matter how you serve it, everyone at your holiday party will love this cheery drink. LZakaria ## How to Store Eggnog Store homemade eggnog in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. If you'd like to keep your eggnog for long, consider freezing it. ## Can You Freeze Eggnog? Yes, you can freeze eggnog for up to six months. Make sure to leave a few inches of room at the top of the container (the liquid will expand as it freezes). Thaw in the refrigerator overnight. ## Allrecipes Community Tips and Praise "This recipe has become a holiday tradition in our house," according to [Jayne Doe](https://www.allrecipes.com/cook/14708582). "It's important to make a day in advance, which will give the spices time to infuse into the eggnog." "I'll never buy store bought eggnog again," raves [Heather](https://www.allrecipes.com/cook/261584). "This recipe tastes exactly like the most expensive brands of eggnog. I left out the rum so my kids can partake, and we just add it in to taste. This recipe is pitch perfect — don't change a thing!" "This eggnog is so good it is ridiculous," says [NICCOFIVE](https://www.allrecipes.com/cook/1051284). "I don't even like eggnog and I loved it. My husband had four mugs of it, plus my husband also made a milkshake. I also gave some out to neighbors as a Christmas gift."
