Last year….Was it just last year? It feels like ages past!…I received the secret eggnog recipe from a restaurant I [used to] frequent and whose cocktails are outstanding. I’ve since made changes to my liking. And now, I have THE PERFECT eggnog cocktail for one. [No one else in the house likes eggnog, see.] If you really want this cocktail to be outstanding, try the Brandy and Maple Walnut Bitters from Kinsip Distillery in Prince Edward County. Be warned: I use a raw egg, here. Proceed at your own risk!
CHEERS!
