A Dash of Eggnog

My family eggnog recipe includes Myers Dark, a Spicy Bourbon, and a brandy floater. Eggnog is the best if you make it yourself.

Here is our recipe:

1 750ml bottle of Bourbon (We prefer bourbons with a nice strong nose of alcohol)
1 375ml of a dark spiced rum (Myers is the only way to really go here)
grate up some nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice (think Pumpkin Pie seasonings)
Mix it up and stick it in a sealed container in the fridge for at least 24 hours.

Make sure you chill the glasses ahead of time and serve it with a nice thick layer of brandy on top.

I already had day one of two of my Christmas Cookie baking spree! I have already baked up:

Apricot-Ginger Shortbread
Regular Shortbread
Danish Nut Horns
Baily’s Brownies
Blondies
Tahitian Vanilla Sugar Cookies
Mandarin Orange Fudge
Gingersnaps
Toffee-Chip Slices
Oatmeal (because, oatmeal!)

I am still deciding if I’m making soft molasses cookies this year. I have made them for the last ten years, but they were still sitting there on Jan. 1st when all of the others had been gobbled up. If I make the molasses sugar cookies, whether I am adding some butterscotch chips to them since I love them like that, but I am currently dieting and that would be so hard not to cheat. I love the holidays!
