A seasonal favorite that’s perfect for holiday gatherings. Traditionally, rum is the liquor used in many eggnog recipes. Feel free to use whichever rum, brandy, or bourbon you prefer. This recipe came from a little booklet that’s from the late 60s early 70s
Custard is known for its creamy dense texture. This custard is light and creamy as the recipe calls for whipped egg whites. It is different from your typical custard.

This drink is for those that like to sip on whiskey or bourbon. The peaches add just a touch of sweetness and a wonderful peachy essence.
