The holidays are supposed to be about spending time with good friends, family, and loved ones.
In all actuality, the season is more about showing off our culinary skills by brining the best dish or drink to the party — hey, it’s sharing joy, right?
Sure, everyone likes cookies, desserts, and pastries; and yeah, we’ve all had some amazing lasagnas recently; but when it comes down to it, we all really just want a drink.

Obviously, no one’s going to complain about a carton of beer or a bottle of wine, but if you want to blow the socks off your next holiday get together, homemade eggnog is where it’s at.
We got the folks at Tanduay Rum to give us their recipe for homemade eggnog. Enjoy!
