Egg nog with rum
Description
The alcoholic version, of course, is suitable only for adults. But since rum is added at the final stage, you can safely omit it and treat children to the drink. The classic combination of nutmeg and vanilla is simply indescribable. The drink itself is very gentle and rich. In other words—definitely worth trying. Serve chilled.
