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.
