How to Serve Eggnog

Serve Martha’s original eggnog very cold in small glasses. If desired, top each glass with a little more whipped cream and additional nutmeg. Remember that this recipe is quite potent—Martha strongly suggests only one serving per person!

Making This Recipe Without Raw Eggs

This recipe contains raw eggs which shouldn’t be consumed by anyone with a compromised immune system. If you’re concerned about using raw eggs, swap in a pasteurized liquid whole egg product instead. Since you won’t be whipping the whites separately, the drink will be a bit less frothy but will still taste absolutely delicious.
