SPIKE IT:
E&J V.S. Brandy, Mount Gay Eclipse Rum & Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky: When spiking eggnog, the traditional choice has historically been brandy, but rum and whiskey (especially bourbon whiskey) have also become popular choices. Wondering which to choose? Brandy adds a little sweetness and a nice depth of flavor, while rum is a subtler alcohol (good if you don’t want to taste the alcohol in the drink) and whiskey will make by far the most full-flavored eggnog cocktail.
Selection may vary by store.
