I get it.
You wanna make homemade eggnog – you know – the really, really good kind, but…it’s Christmas and, well, you’re busy.
Have I got a homespun recipe for you.
For those of you BF readers who don’t know, a “homespun” recipe is when you make something that’s not from scratch taste like scratch, just by spinning a little homemade-tasting ingredients in there.
This recipe is delicious on its own, but with that 1/2 cup of Powell & Mahoney Vintage Original Cocktail Mixer in Old Ballycastle Ginger it just adds that festive holiday zing, that’s sure to invoke a warm, fuzzy, festive feeling.
Make it spirited with a little Captain Morgan Spicred Rum or unspirited, it’s up to you ‘cuz since it’s a holiday favorite, it will feel spirited no matter what you add.
A BF Homespun Recipe: Spiced Butter Rum Eggnog
1 Tbsp Salted Butter
1 tsp Vanilla extract
1 Container of your favorite store-bought eggnog (I like Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice- it’s non-alcoholic)
1 c Whole Milk
1/2 c Powell & Mahoney Vintage Original Cocktail Mixer in Old Ballycastle Ginger
Optional: 1 c Captain Morgan Spiced Rum
Whipped Cream (preferred amount – I personally like a small, snow-capped mountain)
Dash of Nutmeg
Melt butter in saucepan. Add vanilla until bubbling.
Add eggnog and milk. Stir until it starts to boil, then keep on low heat.
Add ginger mix and/or rum.
Top with whipped cream and a dash of nutmeg.
Serve with Christmas cookies!
*BF Tip: It’s also DELICIOUS as a homemade eggnog latte, just heat a cup up in the morning and add 1/4 cup coffee. My current coffee of choice? Pumpkin.
Another tip?
Enjoy with friends!!
xoxo,
BF
