AGED EGGNOG

Is aged eggnog safe? 

Now I know you’re probably thinking “yeah, how about we not age a drink that is basically just raw eggs, dairy, and booze.”  I totally get your hesitation BUT this is totally safe and here is why – booze. All that alcohol keeps it safe from little germs setting up shop in your nog. As a little extra precaution, I do recommend letting your eggnog rest for 3 weeks before trying BUT if you live your life on the wild side and trust your eggs you can try on day one. However, I leave that day one tasting up to you because it’s not exactly recommended by the FDA.
