This looks so good. I can’t wait to make it. I think I’m going to use my Evan Williams egg nog to add another little kick.

I’m a friend of Amy Siberio’s and she told me about this website. As soon as I saw this recipe I knew I had to try it. My family and I are obsessed with egg nog, so we can’t wait to try it and share it with the rest of our family on Christmas.
