The Cheating Gourmet: Holiday Eggnog

The Cheating Gourmet: Holiday Eggnog

It's hard to bottle the taste of Christmas in one drink, but eggnog comes pretty close. So for this upcoming holiday, whip up some homemade eggnog—the cheating way, of course. Instead of spending your Christmas in the kitchen, mixing, blending and heating ingredients, use pre-made eggnog and add to it, making a great Cheating Gourmet drink that all will enjoy. 

What you'll need:

  • ½ gallon of eggnog
  • 12 oz. Vanilla milk shake
  • ¼ pint spiced rum
  • 1 tbsp. of nutmeg

First pour the entire ½ gallon of eggnog into a large bowl and whisk in the contents of a pre-made milk shake. To make this recipe as easy as possible, it's best to pick up a milk shake from your local dairy and save yourself the effort.  

Add the rum to the mixture and continue to whisk ingredients until it begins to thicken.

Pour your eggnog into two glasses and top off each with a sprinkle of nutmeg. And that's it, you're finished. Remember that it's not cheating, if it's good eating.
