Mom's Best Spiced Eggnog image

This eggnog recipe was the traditional holiday drink while growing up and now it's the traditional drink in my home. I've tried several nog recipes, but to this day this one is still my favorite. Optional: add brandy or liqueur of choice when serving.

This eggnog is the perfect make-ahead holiday drink. You can make it a few days in advance and store it in the refrigerator. It's even better the next day!

I love how versatile this recipe is. You can add or remove spices to suit your own taste. I also like to add a little bit of rum or brandy for an extra kick.

I love that this recipe uses real spices instead of artificial flavorings. It gives the eggnog a much more authentic and delicious flavor.
