This year, give her eggnog. Or just give it to yourself. You deserve it.

Like so many others, this recipe is a riff on the one created by bar genius and all around nice guy Jeff Morganthaler. Whether or not my take is the best eggnog ever is up for discussion, but everyone I gave it to nearly lost their minds, and you should give it (or an approximation of it) a go. And if you’ve never had nog made from scratch, you’re truly missing out and should take this as a sign to make some.
