Is there anything better than sipping on homemade eggnog over the holidays? Nope, not really. The origin of eggnog can be traced all the way back to the 17th century, and it has been a winter favorite ever since.
What do we recommend? A rich, whiskey cocktail can enhance its spicy profile, or if you prefer a bit of sweetness like me, try it with a dash of honey. Serve with freshly baked gingerbread cookies. Cheers!
