By definition, eggnog is simply a blend of milk or cream, beaten eggs, sugar, nutmeg and liquor. Modern connoisseurs of eggnog believe that a homemade version needs to age. We've put a modern twist on this recipe with sous vide eggnog. This recipe calls for part brandy, part bourbon. While we think that’s the best way to go, you could do all bourbon, all brandy, or switch it up completely with rum. The best part? You can enjoy this recipe at any time of the year.
