No drink says Holiday Cheer more than eggnog. So we at the Maryland Bartending Academy thought we would take a step back from all of the professional bartending tips and tricks and instead provide you all with a recipe guaranteed to wow your friends and family this holiday season.
Eggnog Recipe
Ingredients:
- 4 cups milk
- 5 whole cloves
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 12 egg yolks
- 1 1/2 cups sugar
- 2 1/2 cups light rum
- 4 cups light cream
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

- First, combine the milk, cloves, ½ teaspoon of vanilla, and cinnamon in a saucepan. Heat over low heat for 5 minutes, slowly bringing the milk to a boil.
- Next, in a large bowl, mix the egg yolks and sugar and whisk until the combination becomes fluffy.
- Then whisk in the hot milk mixture and pour into a saucepan. Cook the mixture over medium heat. Do not allow the mixture to boil.
