Uncle Danny always said that it couldn't be the holidays without a tall glass of eggnog in hand. So, he took it upon himself to make sure the holidays arrived on time with his own eggnog recipe, which you have to share with everyone in the Christmas spirit! Uncle Danny's Eggnog is a rich and impossibly creamy brew, with notes of smooth floral vanilla and the warmth of nutmeg. A little bourbon adds smokiness and malt flavor to the mix which you'll be smiling about as you sip! Just try not to have a good time with Uncle Danny's Eggnog; we guarantee it's impossible!
