Homemade holiday eggnog… but make it bourbon.

Making eggnog at home can feel overwhelming- but this version proves it doesn’t have to be. In this recipe, Reba Toloday shares a lighter, approachable take that swaps heavy cream for half-and-half and finishes with a hearty splash of bourbon for a perfectly balanced holiday pour.

It makes about 7 cups, comes together more easily than you’d expect, and works just as well for a festive gathering as it does poured into bottles for a last-minute homemade gift.

🥃 Perfect for holiday hosting
🎁 Giftable, sippable, repeatable
