You, Alton Brown are the Eggnog extraordinaire!!! Superb keeps coming to mind. I have been making different recipes throughout the years and while they were tasty, nothing compares to this recipe. Easy, smooth and just delicious, I can't say enough about it. I did make one alteration. I used Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum in place of the bourbon and it was outstanding. Thanks Alton for adding the Merry to my Christmas!!

So much better than what comes out of a carton from the supermarket. This was my first attempt at making my own and I did use light milk and cream and didn't add the bourbon and it was still so delicious. Have already made it twice this Christmas and will be made for many more to come.

Have made this for the third time, amazing. When I was growing up, the thought of drinking eggnog sent me to the bathroom. This stuff is really good. Thanks AB

So nice. I made the raw version and added 1 1/2 ounces each of frangelico & amarettto with an extra splash of rum in place of the bourbon, and it was delicious. Bravo, Alton.

I don't think this recipe will blow you away if you don't already like eggnog, but if you're on the fence, I think this could make you a convert. It's way different than store bought eggnog -- smoother, lighter, and fluffier.

I've never made homemade eggnog before, so can't compare it to any other. However, I've bought lots of it since I love eggnog around the holidays.
This is blow-me-away awesome eggnog. It wasn't at all difficult. I was nervous about tempering the eggs but it was easy. With the whipped egg whites, this is light and fluffy and mmmm mmmmm great! The 3 oz. of bourbon must have been a "Politically Correct" amount.
We added a full cup of bourbon - 8 oz. - in the quart and a half that this recipe made. Not too much at all.
It was a perfect cocktail for the hottub on a snowy Colorado night!
I will never, ever buy eggnog again!!

This is my second year making the uncooked version of Alton Brown's eggnog, it is sooo delicous, very frothy and creamy. I followed the directions exactly and also used Sailor Jerry's spiced rum and it turned out perfect! I will never go back to eggnog from the carton again.

This was my first time making homemade egg nog and let me just tell you I will never use any other recipe. This is simply devine! So smooth and creamy. They consistency is PERFECT for traditional holiday egg nog. I followed the cooked version and it was so easy to follow and turned out perfect every time. I made 4 batches for a holiday pary we are hosting and added just at 12oz of SPICED RUM.. the rum is subtle and does not overpower the taste of the egg nog itself. ENJOY!

We used what we had in the fridge (soy milk and half & half to try this recipe and it still turned out really yummy. We didn't put any burbon in it and it was still really good. Can't wait to try it with the burbon!

Wonderful, very frothy smooth consistency. Added a few teaspoons of cinnamon to mine (to taste and garnished with some as well. Might use a bit less bourbon next time because I really like the sweetness which was a bit hidden by the booze. Definitely making this one again!

Got rave reviews from my eggnog loving friends. I spiked it with Sailor Jerry's Spiced Rum.
