Eggnog Recipes and Christmastime Beverages

Dec 23rd, 2022 · Season 4 · Episode 27

With most of the country stuck in a once-in-a-generation cold snap, host Mike Wolf offers up plenty of warming holiday beverages to get you through the weekend. First up is the mezcal hot toddy from the new book, along with tips on customizing your own hot toddy on a cold night. Then we dive into numerous eggnog recipes and the scientific case for aging your eggnog. We dust off George Washington's famous eggnog recipe, a Vegan eggnog recipe with no eggs, how to make your own whiskey cream, and how to use that in a whiskey cream hot chocolate. Then we close it out with an old, never-released Christmas story from Charlie Nelson of Nelson's Green Brier Distillery, from his days visiting Dublin and riding rickshaws for money. Happy Holidaze from Liquid Gold!
