A rich holiday treat. There are many variations to the recipe for eggnog, this particular recipe is a quick, shaken version. If you order eggnog at the bar or lounge, this will most likely be the version that will be made. You can also use an egg substitute, but a real egg is preferred. Which ever you choose, shake this cocktail more than you normally would to ensure all the ingredients are well mixed. Find more eggnog recipes.
