Make a pitcher of this delicious winter drink in just five minutes!\nWhile some recipes may seem intimidating, it’s actually quite simple to make delicious eggnog right at home. I have been making this recipe for over 10 years and everyone that tries it asks for it.\nUse up any leftover eggnog to make \nSpiced Eggnog Cookies\n! They are tender, chewy, and taste just like the real thing.\nWassail Hot Apple Cider\n is another festive drink perfect for chilly evenings. Mulling spices and tart fruit juice this recipe extra delicious. We even have a\nCoquito\nrecipe that is amazing!\nIf you’re looking for grown up holiday drinks, try a \nCandy Cane Martini\n or \nGrandma’s Sugar Cookie Martini\n. Both are creamy and sweet, perfect for any holiday party!\nWhat is eggnog?\nThis rich drink, most popular during the winter holidays, is typically a combination of milk, cream, sugar, and eggs.\nDifferent variations can include additional spices and flavorings, but it always has a thick and creamy texture.\nTraditionally, many recipes were for spiked eggnog, with a hefty amount of rum included. These days, the drinks are much tamer, and in some people prefer non-alcoholic eggnog.\nWe make it without alcohol, then place dark rum on the side so everyone can add it as they prefer.\nEggnog  Ingredients\nYou need just three simple ingredients to make a big batch of this popular holiday drink!\nEgg yolks\n–\nSave the egg whites! You can use them to make meringue cookies, meringue frosting, or even an\negg white omelet\n.\nGranulated sugar\nHalf and half\n– This dairy product is popular in the U.S. It is equal parts heavy cream and whole milk. It can be found in the dairy case at the grocery store. Or, you can make your own at home!\nSome other versions include whipped egg whites that are folded in at the end to create a lighter, frothier texture. I find that the extra step isn’t necessary, but feel free to add some if you’d like!\nOr, save the extra egg whites for omelets, meringue, or spiced nuts. They’ll keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them.\nEggnog Recipe Variations\nSugar Free Eggnog\nMaking a lower calorie version of this recipe is very easy to do. All you really need is a cup for cup substitute for the sugar. Good options are monkfruit sugar,\nxylitol\n, or erythritol.\nHow to customize your drinks\nWhen there are drinkers and non-drinkers together, I like to set up a station with plenty of topping options. This way, everyone can make their drink exactly how they like it!\nToppings \nSprinkle on a warm spice like nutmeg, cloves, or cardamom or add a whole cinnamon stick to your mug.\nWhipped cream is also delicious! Use your favorite brand from the store or\nwhip some up at home.\nFlavored syrups\nMix in some vanilla, caramel, or even peppermint for a touch of flavor and sweetness.\nGingerbread syrup would also taste delicious. Or, add a drizzle of mocha or\ncaramel sauce\nover the top!\nAlcohol\nWhile brandy is the more traditional choice, dark or spiced rum pairs well with the natural flavors.\nCognac and bourbon are some more popular choices, or try some Fireball whiskey for an extra kick!\nYou could also add a splash of flavored liqueur like peppermint schnapps, Kahlua, or Bailey’s Irish Cream.\nEggnog Recipe FAQ\nIs it safe to drink eggnog?\nYes, as long as it’s made with pasteurized eggs. To be extra safe, you can heat it before serving to eliminate the risk of salmonella.\nWhat’s the best way to heat it?\nAdd the drink to a saucepan on the stove and use low heat until it’s warm to your liking. Don’t let it simmer or boil. Otherwise, it may curdle or become too thick. We actually prefer ours cold.\nHow long does homemade eggnog last in the refrigerator?\nBecause the eggs aren’t cooked, it’s best to enjoy this drink within 24 hours. You may need to give it a good stir before serving as well.\nEnjoy!\nWith love from our simple kitchen to yours. \nDon’t miss a thing!

creamy holiday drink to serve chilled or warm. Make a pitcher of this delicious winter drink in just five minutes\\!*\n\nWhile some recipes may seem intimidating, it’s actually quite simple to make delicious eggnog right at home. I have been making this recipe for over 10 years and everyone that tries it asks for it.\n\n[![Best Ever Eggnog Recipe in a glass on a board](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-2374175.jpg)](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/2021\/10\/best-ever-eggnog-recipe.html)\n\nUse up any leftover eggnog to make **[Spiced Eggnog Cookies](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/spiced-eggnog-cookies\/)**! They are tender, chewy, and taste just like the real thing.\n\n**[Wassail Hot Apple Cider](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/wassail-hot-apple-cider-drink\/)** is another festive drink perfect for chilly evenings. Mulling spices and tart fruit juice this recipe extra delicious. We even have a [Coquito](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/coquito-recipe\/) recipe that is amazing\\!\n\nIf you’re looking for grown up holiday drinks, try a **[Candy Cane Martini](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/the-genuine-candy-cane-martini\/)** or **[Grandma’s Sugar Cookie Martini](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/grandmas-sugar-cookie-martini\/)**. Both are creamy and sweet, perfect for any holiday party\\!\n\n### What is eggnog?\nThis rich drink, most popular during the winter holidays, is typically a combination of milk, cream, sugar, and eggs.\n\nDifferent variations can include additional spices and flavorings, but it always has a thick and creamy texture.\n\nTraditionally, many recipes were for spiked eggnog, with a hefty amount of rum included. These days, the drinks are much tamer, and in some people prefer non-alcoholic eggnog.\n\nWe make it without alcohol, then place dark rum on the side so everyone can add it as they prefer.\n\n[![eggnog recipe ingredients](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-1-WIDE-2240384.jpg)](https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-iUr9SEfnfXo\/YW4MZXkInBI\/AAAAAAABvqg\/OlFzYd92M-shHMPgazz2wziSY7tzQg2HwCLcBGAsYHQ\/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-1-WIDE.jpg)\n\n### Eggnog Ingredients\nYou need just three simple ingredients to make a big batch of this popular holiday drink\\!\n\n- ****Egg yolks**–** Save the egg whites! You can use them to make meringue cookies, meringue frosting, or even an [egg white omelet](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/sun-dried-tomato-and-scallion-egg-white\/).\n- **Granulated sugar**\n- **Half and half**– This dairy product is popular in the U.S. It is equal parts heavy cream and whole milk. It can be found in the dairy case at the grocery store. Or, you can make your own at home\\!\n\nSome other versions include whipped egg whites that are folded in at the end to create a lighter, frothier texture. I find that the extra step isn’t necessary, but feel free to add some if you’d like\\!\n\nOr, save the extra egg whites for omelets, meringue, or spiced nuts. They’ll keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them.\n\n[![whipping eggs for sugar free eggnog](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-3-WIDE-7755263.jpg)](https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-KHbS31aaUEc\/YW4Mdmwl7WI\/AAAAAAABvqk\/f3CtPUm2YoQg8ms6KCVk2N26j6n0SmEywCLcBGAsYHQ\/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-3-WIDE.jpg)\n\n### Eggnog Recipe Variations\n**Sugar Free Eggnog**\n\nMaking a lower calorie version of this recipe is very easy to do. All you really need is a cup for cup substitute for the sugar. Good options are monkfruit sugar, [xylitol](https:\/\/amzn.to\/3k1qSzQ), or erythritol.\n\n[![adding cream to mixing bowl](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-4-WIDE-7431802.jpg)](https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-UNturOahlZs\/YW4ModzufmI\/AAAAAAABvqo\/6-EX61u6KWsrD4v-Qqbst_IF1zo1J0RaQCLcBGAsYHQ\/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-4-WIDE.jpg)\n\n### How to customize your drinks\nWhen there are drinkers and non-drinkers together, I like to set up a station with plenty of topping options. This way, everyone can make their drink exactly how they like it\\!\n\n- ****Toppings****\n\nSprinkle on a warm spice like nutmeg, cloves, or cardamom or add a whole cinnamon stick to your mug.\n\nWhipped cream is also delicious! Use your favorite brand from the store or [whip some up at home.](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/kitchen-hack-homemade-whipped-cream\/)\n\n- ****Flavored syrups****\n\nMix in some vanilla, caramel, or even peppermint for a touch of flavor and sweetness.\n\nGingerbread syrup would also taste delicious. Or, add a drizzle of mocha or [caramel sauce](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/no-fail-caramel-sauce\/) over the top\\!\n\n- **Alcohol**\n\nWhile brandy is the more traditional choice, dark or spiced rum pairs well with the natural flavors.\n\nCognac and bourbon are some more popular choices, or try some Fireball whiskey for an extra kick\\!\n\nYou could also add a splash of flavored liqueur like peppermint schnapps, Kahlua, or Bailey’s Irish Cream.\n\n[![whisking eggnog recipe ingredients in a bowl](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-6-WIDE-2950830.jpg)](https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-qRqIz6oWkec\/YW4M39qD9bI\/AAAAAAABvq0\/3LY7KKdY6yoS4ihUIM1k5LpFTitZ7kXRACLcBGAsYHQ\/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-6-WIDE.jpg)\n\n### Eggnog Recipe FAQ\n**Is it safe to drink eggnog?**\n\nYes, as long as it’s made with pasteurized eggs. To be extra safe, you can heat it before serving to eliminate the risk of salmonella.\n\n**What’s the best way to heat it?**\n\nAdd the drink to a saucepan on the stove and use low heat until it’s warm to your liking. Don’t let it simmer or boil. Otherwise, it may curdle or become too thick. We actually prefer ours cold.\n\n**How long does homemade eggnog last in the refrigerator?**\n\nBecause the eggs aren’t cooked, it’s best to enjoy this drink within 24 hours. You may need to give it a good stir before serving as well.\n\n[![pouring best eggnog into drinking glasses](https:\/\/www.theslowroasteditalian.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/10\/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-8-WIDE-5040640.jpg)](https:\/\/lh3.googleusercontent.com\/-9V-cegMWV2E\/YW4U79wtftI\/AAAAAAABvsQ\/aKNHspFjo-gCdNxU1pQIqWG6cFhWNGgkACLcBGAsYHQ\/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-8-WIDE.jpg)\n\nEnjoy\\!\n\n**With love from our simple kitchen to yours.**\n\n**Don’t miss a thing!

Traditionally, many recipes were for spiked eggnog, with a hefty amount of rum included. These days, the drinks are much tamer, and in some people prefer non-alcoholic eggnog. We make it without alcohol, then place dark rum on the side so everyone can add it as they prefer. Eggnog Ingredients You need just three simple ingredients to make a big batch of this popular holiday drink! Egg yolks – Save the egg whites! You can use them to make meringue cookies, meringue frosting, or even an egg white omelet . Granulated sugar Half and half – This dairy product is popular in the U.S. It is equal parts heavy cream and whole milk. It can be found in the dairy case at the grocery store. Or, you can make your own at home! Some other versions include whipped egg whites that are folded in at the end to create a lighter, frothier texture. I find that the extra step isn’t necessary, but feel free to add some if you’d like! Or, save the extra egg whites for omelets, meringue, or spiced nuts. They’ll keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them. Eggnog Recipe Variations Sugar Free Eggnog Making a lower calorie version of this recipe is very easy to do. All you really need is a cup for cup substitute for the sugar. Good options are monkfruit sugar, xylitol , or erythritol. How to customize your drinks When there are drinkers and non-drinkers together, I like to set up a station with plenty of topping options. This way, everyone can make their drink exactly how they like it! Toppings Sprinkle on a warm spice like nutmeg, cloves, or cardamom or add a whole cinnamon stick to your mug. Whipped cream is also delicious! Use your favorite brand from the store or whip some up at home. Flavored syrups Mix in some vanilla, caramel, or even peppermint for a touch of flavor and sweetness. Gingerbread syrup would also taste delicious. Or, add a drizzle of mocha or caramel sauce over the top! Alcohol While brandy is the more traditional choice, dark or spiced rum pairs well with the natural flavors. Cognac and bourbon are some more popular choices, or try some Fireball whiskey for an extra kick! You could also add a splash of flavored liqueur like peppermint schnapps, Kahlua, or Bailey’s Irish Cream. Eggnog Recipe FAQ Is it safe to drink eggnog? Yes, as long as it’s made with pasteurized eggs. To be extra safe, you can heat it before serving to eliminate the risk of salmonella. What’s the best way to heat it? Add the drink to a saucepan on the stove and use low heat until it’s warm to your liking. Don’t let it simmer or boil. Otherwise, it may curdle or become too thick. We actually prefer ours cold. How long does homemade eggnog last in the refrigerator? Because the eggs aren’t cooked, it’s best to enjoy this drink within 24 hours. You may need to give it a good stir before serving as well.

TSRI Team says: [November 15, 2022 at 5:01 am](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/best-ever-eggnog-recipe/#comment-20650) Hi Katharine, It is safe to drink eggnog as long as it’s made with pasteurized eggs. To be extra safe, you can heat it before serving to eliminate the risk. Hope this helps.

Readable Markdown	This *eggnog recipe* makes a rich and creamy holiday drink to serve chilled or warm. Make a pitcher of this delicious winter drink in just five minutes\! While some recipes may seem intimidating, it’s actually quite simple to make delicious eggnog right at home. I have been making this recipe for over 10 years and everyone that tries it asks for it. [![Best Ever Eggnog Recipe in a glass on a board](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-2374175.jpg)](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/2021/10/best-ever-eggnog-recipe.html) Use up any leftover eggnog to make [Spiced Eggnog Cookies](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/spiced-eggnog-cookies/)! They are tender, chewy, and taste just like the real thing. [Wassail Hot Apple Cider](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/wassail-hot-apple-cider-drink/) is another festive drink perfect for chilly evenings. Mulling spices and tart fruit juice this recipe extra delicious. We even have a [Coquito](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/coquito-recipe/) recipe that is amazing\! If you’re looking for grown up holiday drinks, try a [Candy Cane Martini](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/the-genuine-candy-cane-martini/) or [Grandma’s Sugar Cookie Martini](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/grandmas-sugar-cookie-martini/). Both are creamy and sweet, perfect for any holiday party\! ### What is eggnog? This rich drink, most popular during the winter holidays, is typically a combination of milk, cream, sugar, and eggs. Different variations can include additional spices and flavorings, but it always has a thick and creamy texture. Traditionally, many recipes were for spiked eggnog, with a hefty amount of rum included. These days, the drinks are much tamer, and in some people prefer non-alcoholic eggnog. We make it without alcohol, then place dark rum on the side so everyone can add it as they prefer. [![eggnog recipe ingredients](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-1-WIDE-2240384.jpg)](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-iUr9SEfnfXo/YW4MZXkInBI/AAAAAAABvqg/OlFzYd92M-shHMPgazz2wziSY7tzQg2HwCLcBGAsYHQ/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-1-WIDE.jpg) ### Eggnog Ingredients You need just three simple ingredients to make a big batch of this popular holiday drink\! - **Egg yolks– Save the egg whites! You can use them to make meringue cookies, meringue frosting, or even an [egg white omelet](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/sun-dried-tomato-and-scallion-egg-white/). - Granulated sugar - Half and half– This dairy product is popular in the U.S. It is equal parts heavy cream and whole milk. It can be found in the dairy case at the grocery store. Or, you can make your own at home\! Some other versions include whipped egg whites that are folded in at the end to create a lighter, frothier texture. I find that the extra step isn’t necessary, but feel free to add some if you’d like\! Or, save the extra egg whites for omelets, meringue, or spiced nuts. They’ll keep for 2-3 days in the refrigerator until you’re ready to use them. [![whipping eggs for sugar free eggnog](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-3-WIDE-7755263.jpg)](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-KHbS31aaUEc/YW4Mdmwl7WI/AAAAAAABvqk/f3CtPUm2YoQg8ms6KCVk2N26j6n0SmEywCLcBGAsYHQ/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-3-WIDE.jpg) ### Eggnog Recipe Variations Sugar Free Eggnog Making a lower calorie version of this recipe is very easy to do. All you really need is a cup for cup substitute for the sugar. Good options are monkfruit sugar, [xylitol](https://amzn.to/3k1qSzQ), or erythritol. [![adding cream to mixing bowl](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-4-WIDE-7431802.jpg)](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-UNturOahlZs/YW4ModzufmI/AAAAAAABvqo/6-EX61u6KWsrD4v-Qqbst_IF1zo1J0RaQCLcBGAsYHQ/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-4-WIDE.jpg) ### How to customize your drinks When there are drinkers and non-drinkers together, I like to set up a station with plenty of topping options. This way, everyone can make their drink exactly how they like it\! - Toppings Sprinkle on a warm spice like nutmeg, cloves, or cardamom or add a whole cinnamon stick to your mug. Whipped cream is also delicious! Use your favorite brand from the store or [whip some up at home.](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/kitchen-hack-homemade-whipped-cream/) - Flavored syrups Mix in some vanilla, caramel, or even peppermint for a touch of flavor and sweetness. Gingerbread syrup would also taste delicious. Or, add a drizzle of mocha or [caramel sauce](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/no-fail-caramel-sauce/) over the top\! - Alcohol While brandy is the more traditional choice, dark or spiced rum pairs well with the natural flavors. Cognac and bourbon are some more popular choices, or try some Fireball whiskey for an extra kick\! You could also add a splash of flavored liqueur like peppermint schnapps, Kahlua, or Bailey’s Irish Cream. [![whisking eggnog recipe ingredients in a bowl](https://www.theslowroasteditalian.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-6-WIDE-2950830.jpg)](https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-qRqIz6oWkec/YW4M39qD9bI/AAAAAAABvq0/3LY7KKdY6yoS4ihUIM1k5LpFTitZ7kXRACLcBGAsYHQ/Best-Ever-Eggnog-Recipe-6-WIDE.jpg) ### Eggnog Recipe FAQ Is it safe to drink eggnog? Yes, as long as it’s made with pasteurized eggs. To be extra safe, you can heat it before serving to eliminate the risk of salmonella. What’s the best way to heat it? Add the drink to a saucepan on the stove and use low heat until it’s warm to your liking. Don’t let it simmer or boil. Otherwise, it may curdle or become too thick. We actually prefer ours cold. How long does homemade eggnog last in the refrigerator? Because the eggs aren’t cooked, it’s best to enjoy this drink within 24 hours. You may need to give it a good stir before serving as well.
