Early American Eggnog

This traditional version of classic eggnog is suspected of having roots dating to George Washington's era, but it certainly pulls out all the stops. A creamy blend of egg yolks, egg whites, heavy cream, milk, rum, brandy, and sherry, it requires aging at least 5 to 10 days to achieve its remarkable mellow taste.

Festive eggnog always sets the stage for holiday entertaining, and this marvelous creamy concoction from The Big Easy wins a prize for the most seasonings and flavorings. Choose your favorites, or enjoy virgin eggnog, and get ready to host a crowd! Have a 4 gallon bowl or container handy to mix the eggnog, and plan to make this 30 days before your party so it's well seasoned.

It is relatively easy to toss a few quarts of eggnog and a bottle of rum into a punch bowl, but take the time to make some eggnog from scratch and you will be amazed how great real eggnog can be. 

Don's Friend Tonja's Cousin Toni's Boyfriend's Grandmother's Eggnog

Tonja was born in the 1940's and this is her cousin Toni's boyfriend's grandmother's eggnog, so I'm guessing this is from the mid-1800's and probably dates much earlier. The original recipe called for half milk and half cream, but I use half and half. Delicious and simple, but be warned, Granny apparently liked a kick! I've made it from scratch and with the modern equivalents and it's fantastic either way. Do yourself a favor and use a mixer for everything. Those who like eggnog LOVE this recipe. I never leave a party with leftovers.
