Another egg-based cocktail, we're mixing it up with an egg yolk, brandy and coffee liqueur. This time we're adding the simple syrup to sweeten the beverage. You'll get a dark and medium-thick cocktail with its heritage born of coffee and cool.

Our second eggnog recipe using "from scratch" eggnog, we're mixing milk with eggs and some brandy and calling it eggnog and brandy. This recipe was submitted by Howard on twitter, it's simplicity in form and follows the more traditional broad international means of eggnog.

While my home and close family is all about the pre-made eggnog, this is the alternative for a more natural and less sweet cocktail concoction.
