Get ready to liven up your holiday celebrations with timeless classics from the queen of entertainment. martha stewart.

The 83-year-old New Jersey native’s signature eggnog recipe is the perfect blend of rich, creamy decadence and festive cheer, making it a must-have for any seasonal gathering.

Whether it’s a cozy family dinner or a glamorous holiday party, Martha Stewart Eggnog is sure to impress with its luxurious flavor and sophisticated appeal.

Eggnog has a custard-like flavor with an alcoholic flavor. It is traditionally made with dairy products (combining milk and cream, like Martha’s version), sweetened with sugar, and thickened with eggs. Some recipes call for cooking the egg yolks, while others, like this one, leave the eggs raw. In uncooked recipes, the yolks are mixed with the dairy product, and the whites are whisked separately and mixed before serving.

Eggnog is typically supplemented with brandy, rum, whiskey, bourbon, or a combination of these, and is finished with a sprinkle of ground nutmeg.

Every year, Martha Stewart prepares her signature eggnog recipe before the holiday party. This rich, luxurious drink is made with cream and packs a punch thanks to the trio of dark rum, bourbon, and cognac.

Here’s what you need:

• 6 large eggs (separated)
• 3/4 cup caster sugar
• 2 cups whole milk
• 3 cups heavy cream, more for garnish
• 1/2 cup bourbon, preferably Maker’s Mark
• 1/4 cup dark rum, preferably Mt. Gay
• 1/4 cup cognac, preferably Remy Martin Grand Cru
• Freshly grated nutmeg (for sprinkling)

To prepare the TV personality’s signature eggnog, first whisk the egg yolks in a large bowl until thick and pale. Gradually add the sugar and continue whisking until completely combined. Next, add 2 cups of milk and cream and whisk to create a smooth and creamy mixture. Stir in the bourbon, rum, and cognac, then cover and refrigerate for up to 1 day to let the flavors meld.

When ready to serve, whisk the egg whites until stiff peaks form and gently fold into the eggnog. Whisk remaining 1 cup cream until stiff peaks form. For an alternative presentation, fold half of the whipped cream into the eggnog and use the other half as a topping. Before serving, sprinkle some freshly grated nutmeg on top. Enjoy this gorgeous holiday classic.

Commercial eggnog often contains fillers, preservatives, and artificial ingredients, but making it from scratch gives you complete control over the quality of your drink. Martha’s recipe is surprisingly simple, requiring only six eggs, sugar, heavy cream, milk, alcohol, and nutmeg for garnish. It is important to use fresh eggs as they are not cooked.

This recipe is a two-day process, with most of the work done the day before serving. Mix egg yolks, sugar, milk, cream, and alcohol and leave overnight for the flavors to meld. Egg whites are whipped and mixed just before serving to create a light and airy texture.
