You can’t beat eggnog laced with spirits for a festive and seasonal libation. Hounds like their eggnog spiked with rum, bourbon, or brandy, or a combination thereof. And a grating of fresh nutmeg makes a big difference, says MC Slim JB.

Homemade eggnog is a whole different animal from the store-bought variety. This recipe, from bartending blogger Jeffrey Morgenthaler, is “good and easy,” according to sku.

    I made "The Best Eggnog" in early November & served it mid-December for our Christmas party, just the nutmeg grated on top. Friends who had given up on eggnog were thrilled to taste one that "tastes like eggnog should!" Other friends, who don't like eggnog, discovered just how nice eggnog can be. The folks who can't handle the spirit of alcohol were left gasping. It was very good. I'll make a double batch early next year! ( I don't see restrictions on when it can be enjoyed, so I hope to have some left come fall!)-COLLAPSE
