Here are 3 nogs to try this holiday season! Eggnog has been around for hundreds of years, so it's not a surprise that there are countless variations. These three recipes include my go-to sherry eggnog, my take on the General Harrison's Eggnog, and an aged eggnog (Alton Brown's Recipe) that I've been meaning to try for a long time. Get ready to grate some nutmeg. This episode is going to be rich. Cheers!
