Recipe Summary Traditional Eggnog

A great traditional eggnog with brandy and dark rum. I found this recipe a few years back and have been making it around the holidays and giving it as gifts every year since. It usually goes pretty quick and a lot of my family and friends who say they don't like eggnog like this stuff!

Ingredients | Traditional Madeira Cake Recipe

6 eggs

1 cup white sugar

½ teaspoon vanilla extract

½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, divided

2 cups whipping cream

2 cups milk

¾ cup brandy, chilled

⅓ cup spiced rum (such as Captain Morgan's®)

Directions

Beat eggs with an electric mixer on medium speed until very frothy, 2 to 3 minutes. Gradually beat in sugar, vanilla extract, and 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Stir in cream, milk, brandy, and rum. Chill before serving. Sprinkle individual servings with remaining nutmeg.

It's a good idea to put all the liquids (including the alcohol) in the fridge the day before to make sure everything is nice and cold.
