History:
Eggnog is a vintage Christmas libation, and George Washington, America's first President, famously made his own. It is traditionally made by whisking the egg yolks with sugar; separately stirring the milk, cream, rum and bourbon; and finally combining these two mixtures along with beaten egg white. This is best made in batches and is a faff. Our quick and easy single-serve version delivers on flavour, and if you seek a thicker consistency, then opt for cream in place of milk.
Review:
This vintage cocktail is literally a thickened alcoholic milkshake flavoured with cognac and rum. Yum!
