Although the basic recipe for eggnog is the same (eggs beaten with sugar, milk, cream and some kind of spirit) there are a variety of recipes that cover most occassions where eggnog may be served.
Serve eggnog at a party in a large punchbowl with "puddles" of whipped cream spaced over the suface, top this with grated nutmeg and set out with glass cups or Irish coffee glasses for a decorative touch.
Happy Noggin'
