Is there a more festive beverage than eggnog? 🎄 ❄️
The downer is that store bought eggnog tastes like eggy-melted-vanilla ice cream base, that’s been “spiked” with baking spice and yellow food coloring. 😑
Not gonna lie, there is a certain nostalgic taste to it… but when you have proper eggnog it’s like going from Hamburger Helper to a Dry-Aged Prime Steak 🙌
Proper, opulent, eggnog should be boozy, creamy, rich, with a depth of warming spice, and a pillowy lightness that compliments the boozy richness.
It warms and satisfies the soul
The secret is in the balance of ingredients that creates Holiday luxe in your mouth 🤤
The perfect eggnog needs
-(3) liquors
-The yolks and the whites are both necessary
-A blend of dairies get us to the perfect mouthfeel
This recipe has been made in my family for more years than I remember… and the bonus… leftovers make the best french toast base you’ve ever had; we didn’t figure this out until years later 😂. (Boxing Day Brunch anyone? 👀)
I can’t count the number of people who have been converted and sent to Holiday Valhalla by this perfect Holiday libation…
Let me show you how to whip it up 🤝
