To avoid food borne illnesses in homemade eggnog, you can purchase pasteurized eggs online or from your local grocery store in liquid or powder form. If you use unpasteurized eggs, you can pasteurize the eggnog itself as we do in our recipe for easy homemade eggnog by first tempering the eggs with a lightly heated milk and egg mixture before whisking them into a pot with the remaining dairy and heating everything to 160 degrees Fahrenheit.
Eggnog is a festive and frothy holiday treat with plenty of dairy richness and warming spices. That said, it tastes even better when spiked with alcohol. We recommend spiking eggnog with a ratio of one part alcohol to three to four parts eggnog for the best balance of flavors. Rum is a classic choice that pairs well with the warming spices of eggnog, but bourbon and other types of whiskey that feature baking spices also complement its festive flavor.
