The Original Eggnog image

When she published this recipe in her first book, Entertaining, Martha wrote that this eggnog was "so rich it needs no accompaniment." This original recipe is made with plenty of bourbon, cognac, dark rum, heavy cream, and a dozen eggs-good thing it serves a crowd.

I've tried several eggnog recipes over the years and this one is by far the best. It's the perfect balance of sweet, creamy, and boozy.

This eggnog is a little too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my eggnog turned out really watery. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what happened.

I added a little extra nutmeg and it gave the eggnog a really nice spicy kick. Highly recommend if you like your eggnog with a little bit of a bite.

I used a handheld mixer to make the eggnog and it turned out a little frothy. Not sure if that's how it's supposed to be.

I substituted almond milk for the regular milk and it was just as creamy and delicious! Perfect for a dairy-free holiday treat.

I was skeptical about the rum and brandy in this recipe, but it really added a nice depth of flavor. Will definitely make again!
