Fall is full effect and earlier this week I shared with y’all my Mulled wine recipe so this week I am sharing with you my favorite Eggnog recipe. 

This isn’t your run-of-the-mill traditional eggnog but delicious Jamaican eggnog or as some people like to call it Caribbean eggnog.  Y’all know anything from the Caribbean just tastes better!

With the holiday season right around the corner, it’s time to start making all of our favorite holiday cocktails that we only drink during November and December. 

Eggnog is one of those cocktails that you absolutely love or hate.  There is no in-between! 

If you will be entertaining this holiday season, try serving up this recipe for Jamaican eggnog.  I spent Christmas in Jamaica a few years ago and the Caribbean eggnog had a different flavor and was slightly sweeter. 

I wrote down the recipe and I’ve been preparing it every holiday season because this traditional eggnog recipe with a Jamaican twist is just what your holiday party needs. 

I actually never tasted eggnog until I met my husband 8 years ago.  My husband would tell me countless stories about how as a kid he and his sister Kia drink up as much virgin eggnog as they could.  I didn’t even know that eggnog was a “spiked” drink until I was an adult.

Before serving, top off with a sprinkle of nutmeg and a cinnamon stick.  Remember to serve chilled.  Enjoy!!!
