Tips & Tricks

- Make it boozy! You can buy alcoholic eggnog or use the non-alcoholic variety and mix in a shot of bourbon.
- Make it extra festive for the holidays, by adding some freshly grated nutmeg and Christmas sprinkles. You can also rim your glass with red or green sugar.
Yes! Both the light and regular varieties of eggnog will work in this recipe.
The ginger flavor pairs really well with the eggnog, so I don’t recommend substituting it.
