Follow The Directions

01

Step
2 mins

In a blender, combine the sugar, rum, bourbon, brandy, vanilla extract, nutmeg, and salt. Blend on medium speed until the sugar is fully dissolved and the mixture is well combined. (Approx. 2 minutes)

02

Step
0 mins

In the same blender (no need to rinse!), add the half-and-half, heavy whipping cream, and eggs. Blend on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix. (Approx. 30 seconds)

03

Step
1 mins

Carefully pour the creamy mixture from the blender into the large bowl containing the liquor mixture. Gently stir to combine everything evenly. (Approx. 1 minute)

04

Step
5 mins

For the smoothest possible texture, ladle the combined eggnog mixture back into the blender in batches. Blend each batch on low speed for just a few seconds to ensure everything is perfectly emulsified. (Approx. 5 minutes total)

05

Step
2 hrs

Transfer the blended eggnog to a punch bowl or pitcher. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld and the eggnog to chill thoroughly. (Refrigerate for 120 minutes)

06

Step
0 mins

Serve chilled, garnished with an extra grating of fresh nutmeg, if desired.

For a non-alcoholic version, replace the rum, bourbon, and brandy with an equal amount of apple cider and a splash of rum extract.
Freshly grated nutmeg makes a significant difference in flavor. Avoid using pre-ground nutmeg if possible.
If you're concerned about using raw eggs, you can gently cook the eggnog base over low heat, stirring constantly, until it reaches 160°F (71°C). Be very careful not to let it curdle.
Eggnog can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

    I was a little hesitant about the raw eggs, but it turned out perfectly smooth and delicious. I'll definitely be making this again!

    I tried this with apple cider instead of alcohol for the kids, and they loved it! Thanks for the great recipe!
