Tips & Notes

Pro tips

Chill all ingredients before combining to achieve silky texture without excessive whipping or emulsification.
Add baking soda gradually—it will fizz slightly as it reacts with the dairy; stir gently to incorporate.
Balance sweetness by tasting with a small spoon before serving; eggnog sweetness intensifies as it chills overnight.
Keep eggnog well-chilled in a punch bowl with ice, or stir into individual glasses to prevent separation of cream and milk.

Substitutions

Old Thompson Blended Whiskey → bourbon or rye whiskey (bolder spice and oak notes)
Old Mr. Boston Rum → dark rum or brandy (deeper molasses or fruity undertones)
Sweet Cream → heavy whipping cream (richer, denser texture)
Granulated Sugar → superfine sugar (dissolves faster, smoother mouthfeel)

Storage & make-ahead

Store covered in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks; the alcohol preserves it. Stir well before serving if separation occurs.

Common Questions

Can I make this eggnog ahead for a party?

Yes. Combine spirits, cream, and milk up to 2 weeks ahead; store chilled. The alcohol acts as a preservative. Add sugar and baking soda just before serving for optimal texture.
