I'm not a big fan of eggnog, but this recipe is pretty good. It's not too sweet and it has a nice balance of spices.

This eggnog is a bit too thick for my taste. I think I'll try adding a little more milk next time.

This eggnog is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still very good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.
