Indulge in ones of the season's greatest pleasures, and make these creamy rich eggnogs. Whether you make them from scratch, or use store bought eggnog, these recipes are sure to please.
Eggnog is related to the English "sack posset", an egg and dairy drink made from dry Spanish sherry. When it came to North America, the colonists substituted the more readily available rum or whiskey.

Dating back to 1775, these drinks can be made using almost any liquor. It generally consists of milk or cream, beaten eggs, sugar, nutmeg and usually a liquor of some kind.
Rum is the spirit most
attributed to the drink, but brandy, cognac and whiskey are also
common replacements. Eggnog is generally served cold, and usually
in a punch bowl.
