The Story in Every Sip

For me, the old-fashioned, homemade richness of eggnog is tied to my favorite childhood memory: enjoying a once-a-year mug with my Grandma Ethel. This recipe captures that feeling of cherished connection and transforms it into a new tradition you can create in your own kitchen. It’s an invitation to slow down, stir with intention, and gather around the truly nourishing things.

What You'll Create:
A profoundly rich and creamy custard-based nog, perfumed with fresh nutmeg and vanilla. It’s a versatile canvas—enjoy it straight, adorned with a cloud of whipped cream, or "stitched" with a thread of bourbon or rum for depth. This is the definitive, from-scratch eggnog experience, designed to become the centerpiece of your winter solace and celebration.
