One thing we fantasize about after we see that first flurry is that the eggnog will undoubtedly be in stock again at our local grocery stores. Like pumpkin spice drinks, eggnog comes around for a way too short period of time and we need to snag as much as possible before the season ends. And with this Martha Stewart classic recipe, we’ll make the best eggnog for our upcoming party that’ll have guests fantasizing about next year’s eggnog restock.

On Dec 25, Stewart posted a delicious snapshot of her world-famous eggnog recipe with the caption, “No holiday fête at Martha’s house would be complete without her famous eggnog. While many recipes call for rum, brandy, or cognac, Martha’s has all three, and the liquors’ complex flavors help cut through the richness. Get the recipe at the link in our bio. 📷: @gentlandhyers food styling: @francesboswell prop styling: @tanyagraff1.”

This two-step recipe has been a fan-favorite for nearly three decades, with people repeatedly making it for and after the holiday season. She first wrote about the recipe in her first-ever cookbook from 1982 called “Entertaining.” (That’s still available on Amazon, by the way!)

Now here’s the thing, this recipe can serve over 25 people. That’s right. If you have a lot of eggnog leftover and are in need of a unique drink for New Year’s Eve, then you can’t go wrong with this classic eggnog.

This comes with the usual for eggnog, but if you want to create it in a truly approved Stewart fashion, then you need the good stuff. For the bourbon, grab some Maker’s Mark, grab the Mount Gay for the dark rum, and save some Rémy Martin Grand Cru for the cognac ingredient.
