A Spiked Eggnog that Lifts the Spirits

To make the best eggnog, you need balance…a taste of booze mingles with cream and spices, but doesn’t weigh you down. Faith asked regular contributor Alex Province and spouse Matthew Bennett to give you “the family recipe,” which is truly well balanced and delicious, just what a top-rated eggnog should be. Needless to say, the second best thing about this is that its made in advance and signals a traditional seasonal welcome.
