Good, but not perfect.. - 01 Feb 2010
Creamy and tasty - a lovely Christmas drink! - 15 Dec 2009
Had some disappointing experiences with eggnog over the years but never tried to make it myself. We all loved this one although I only added about 200ml of brandy (Spanish) which was just about right for us. - 26 Dec 2016
