THE ORIGINAL EGGNOG



The Original Eggnog image

When she published this recipe in her first book, Entertaining, Martha wrote that this eggnog was "so rich it needs no accompaniment." This original recipe is made with plenty of bourbon, cognac, dark rum, heavy cream, and a dozen eggs-good thing it serves a crowd.

TRADITIONAL EGGNOG

A great traditional eggnog with brandy and dark rum. I found this recipe a few years back and have been making it around the holidays and giving it as gifts every year since. It usually goes pretty quick and a lot of my family and friends who say they don't like eggnog like this stuff!
