Extremely smooth, rich and creamy Eggnog you will make every Christmas. Like nothing out of a carton, never buy store-bought eggnog again! A sinful seasonal treat well-worth the work. The best part? It just gets richer and creamier as it sits in the refrigerator.Use rum, bourbon, cognac or your choice of liquor. Just add more or less to suit YOU!
