Ways to Use Eggnog

Mix-in Eggnog:

  • In an 8-ounce glass, pour in 3 ounces of eggnog and 4 ounces of Sprite or Ginger Ale. They balance each other out wonderfully!
  • How about using it as creamer in your coffee?
  • Eggnog smoothie? Try mixing 1 banana, ½ cup eggnog, ½ cup milk and ½ teaspoon of cinnamon and mix in a blender.

Bake With Eggnog:

  • Try using eggnog in the place of milk in some of your favorite Holiday recipes. Try it in cookies, cakes, pies, and puddings.
  • Make Eggnog Crisps
