Spiked Eggnog Variations
1. Traditional Spiked Eggnog:
Alcohol Options: Use bourbon, rum, or a combination of both. Adjust the amount to your taste preference, typically 1/2 cup to 1 cup per batch.
2. Eggnog with Brandy:
Alcohol Options: Substitute brandy for a smooth, sophisticated flavor. Use 1/2 cup to 1 cup of brandy.
3. Eggnog with Spiced Rum:
Alcohol Options: For extra warmth and spice, use spiced rum. Adjust the amount based on preference.
Tips for Success:
Safety: Use pasteurized eggs or an eggnog mix if you’re concerned about raw eggs. Pasteurized eggs are safe to consume raw.
Chilling: Proper chilling is crucial for the best flavor and consistency. Make sure to refrigerate the eggnog long enough.
Garnish: Freshly grated nutmeg is preferred for garnish, and a sprinkle of cinnamon adds a nice touch.
