Eggnog is a traditional holiday party drink.

This recipe makes a rich and powerful eggnog.

This stuff is POTENT, even if you reduce the rum by half. Brandy, dark rum or bourbon may be substituted for the light rum. If you prefer a nonalcoholic eggnog, leave out the booze altogether. With or without booze, this eggnog is very rich, and very good.

Difficulty : easy.

Precision : approximate measurement OK.
