Classic Spiked Eggnog

Absolutely nothing beats the creamy, boozy kick of homemade eggnog during the holidays—or any time you crave it. Grab your blender and let’s turn this classic into your new favorite indulgence.

Ingredients

• 4 cups whole milk (for richness, but 2% works)
• 1 cup heavy cream (shake the carton before measuring)
• 6 large eggs (room temperature blends smoother)
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar (adjust to sweetness preference)
• 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg (freshly grated tastes best)
• 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon (plus extra for garnish)
• 1 tsp pure vanilla extract (the real deal, not imitation)
• 1/2 cup bourbon or rum (spike it to your liking)

Instructions

1. In a blender, combine milk, heavy cream, eggs, sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and vanilla. Blend on medium speed for 1 minute until fully mixed.
2. Pour the mixture into a large saucepan. Cook over medium-low heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it reaches 160°F on a candy thermometer—about 10 minutes. Tip: Don’t rush this step to avoid scrambling the eggs.
3. Remove from heat and stir in bourbon or rum. Let cool to room temperature, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours, preferably overnight. Tip: The flavors meld beautifully over time.
4. Before serving, give it a good stir. Pour into glasses and dust with extra cinnamon. Tip: Serve in chilled glasses for an extra refreshing sip.
