Total Time
30 mins
Servings: 4 to 6
Course: Drinks
Cuisine: American

Ingredients

  • 2 cups half and half
  • 1/2 cup milk, 2% or whole
  • 1 1/4 cups apple cider
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg, plus more for topping
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • whipped cream for topping
  • cinnamon sticks
  • Apple slices

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Place the half and half, milk, cider, eggs, sugars, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt in a large saucepan. Heat over medium-low heat while whisking constantly (so you don’t have scrambled eggs!) for 15 to 20 minutes, until the nog thickens slightly and can easily coat the back of a wooden spoon. Remove from the heat but continue to whisk for another minute or two.
  2. Stir in the bourbon if desired, either in the entire pot or a few ounces into each glass. Serve in mugs with some fresh whipped cream for topping, a cinnamon stick, apple slices and a few grates of fresh nutmeg.
