This traditional eggnog recipe is made with brandy and dark rum. I found this recipe a few years back and have been making it around the holidays and giving it as gifts every year since. Family and friends who say they don't like eggnog like this stuff!

1 cup white sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, divided
2 cups whipping cream
2 cups milk
¾ cup brandy, chilled

Tips

It's a good idea to put all the liquids (including the alcohol) in the fridge the day before to make sure everything is nice and cold.
