Yield Serves 1. Breakfast Eggnog: Use 2 ounces brandy. Add 1/2 ounce curaçao and omit sugar.

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 to 3 ounces brandy or light rum
1 whole egg
1 tablespoon superfine sugar
1 cup milk
1/2 cup crushed ice
Nutmeg

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients except the nutmeg in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Strain into a tall glass. Grate a little nutmeg on top.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the eggs, milk, and cream, the better your eggnog will taste.
  • Chill your ingredients. This will help the eggnog thicken and become smooth.
  • Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating will make the eggnog frothy and less creamy.

  • Serve the eggnog chilled. You can garnish it with grated nutmeg or cinnamon.

Conclusion:

Eggnog is a classic holiday drink that is enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a versatile drink that can be made with or without alcohol. It is also a great way to use up leftover egg yolks.
