Alton has never let me down with his recipes, so I wanted to store this one away for the holidays. I liked the fact that he offered both cooked and uncooked versions of this holiday classic.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my eggnog turned out curdled. I think I might have added the eggs too quickly.

This eggnog is very rich and creamy. I think it would be better with a little less cream.

I found this eggnog to be a little bland. I think it could use more spices.
