This aged eggnog will change everything you thought you knew about how to make the most delicious eggnog. Even though it’s December already, it’s not too late to try this intoxicating beverage that is destined to become a memorable part of your holiday season. This is more than just your typical eggnog, and once you try it, you won’t want to go back to the store-bought versions.
This smooth, sensational holiday drink gets better the longer it ages. Some say it’s like “liquid silk,” “otherworldly,” or even “heaven in a cup.” I previously had a different opinion about eggnog but trying this original recipe completely transformed the way I think about it. Now, aged a minimum of three weeks — although thirty days is even better — it has become a staple during the holiday season. Bibi Hutchings, a lifelong Southerner, believes that this eggnog will create lifelong memories for you, just as it has for her.
Now, I know what you’re thinking. Why would you age something containing both raw eggs and dairy? But it is important to remember that eggnog has a long and documented history dating back to the mid-1600s. So, rest assured that this rich, flavorful treat is perfectly safe and its period of aging only enhances the taste.
