Eggnog

Drinking eggnog is a holiday tradition in many households. As a kid mom use to serve it to us in a carton. When I reached adulthood I ditched the carton eggnog and started making my own. Throughout the years I've served several different eggnog recipes at my holiday parties, both alcoholic and non alcoholic eggnog recipes. Here are the eggnog recipes that my guests enjoyed the most.

• 4 eggs, separated
• 2 cups sugar, divided in half
