Holiday Eggnog Recipe
This year I am making a base eggnog mix that can be stored in the fridge, then portioned out with bourbon and ice when serving.
🥚 Classic Eggnog Mix (Jug Preparation)
Ingredients (for about 6–8 servings)
• 4 large eggs
• ¾ cup granulated sugar
• 2 cups whole milk
• 1 cup heavy cream
• ½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg (plus extra for garnish)
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional, for depth)
Instructions
1. Whisk eggs & sugar• In a large bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth. Gradually add sugar and whisk until pale and slightly thickened.
2. Heat milk gently• Warm the milk in a saucepan over medium heat until steaming (not boiling). Slowly whisk it into the egg-sugar mixture to temper the eggs.
3. Add cream & nutmeg• Stir in the heavy cream, nutmeg, and vanilla. Mix until smooth.
4. Chill the mix• Transfer to a jug or pitcher, cover, and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. The mix will thicken slightly as it chills.
🥃 Serving with Bourbon
• Fill a glass with ice cubes.
• Add 1½–2 oz bourbon (adjust to taste).
• Pour in about ½ cup of the chilled eggnog mix.
• Stir gently and sprinkle a little nutmeg on top.
✨ This way, your jug of mix stays alcohol-free — perfect if you want to serve some without bourbon, or adjust strength glass by glass.
