Classic Homemade Eggnog
Homemade eggnog with a cooked custard base (about 160–165°F)—rich, spiced, and easy to scale for a small gathering.
Brandy on DrinkKnird pairs with winter drinks that want depth without turning into dessert. This hub collects recipes that use brandy in eggnog, mulled wine, and Tom & Jerry—three classics where a little aged spirit rounds spice and dairy.
If you’re planning a holiday tray, start with mulled wine for a warm batch that holds well, then add Tom & Jerry when you want a frothy cup. Eggnog sits between them: richer, custard-based, and easy to scale. See Holiday cocktails for the full seasonal drink set, or Cocktail recipes for every DrinkKnird mixed drink.
