Bourbon Holiday Eggnog Recipe

 

If you enjoy a creamy beverage, you need to give my Bourbon Holiday Eggnog recipe a try! Eggnog is another love/hate beverage that people have pretty strong feelings about.  During the holidays I always pick some up, and I always serve it with bourbon!

How to choose a good bourbon:

Did you know that bourbon is whiskey made from corn? It’s American whiskey! Personally, I have enjoyed Breckenridge.  And although many people will tell you that it doesn’t matter what one you choose when mixing it with eggnog, I’d have to disagree.  You need to enjoy the taste on it’s own if you are using it in a cocktail you are serving to guests.
