 Christmas Eggnog Recipe

Eggnog is a drink particularly associated with winter and eggnog at Christmas appeals because of its sweet dairy based taste with the Christmas spicy taste of cinnamon and nutmeg. Eggnog can be definitely more spiced up & festive at Christmas if brandy, rum or a favourite liqueur is added!
Eggnog can be purchased ready-made in the USA and Canada around the Christmas period.
