I am so so excited to share this recipe with you! This Homemade Holiday Eggnog from My Man’s Grandma B. who is almost 100 years old and IT IS THE BEST EGGNOG on the planet! My Man makes it every year for Christmas Eve (and sometimes New Year’s too). It’s got ice cream and it’s so fresh and delicious . . . it goes perfectly with your frosted sugar cookies . . . loaded with sprinkles, of course.
My Man has been making this since our first year of marriage (17 years!) So My Man and I are gonna show you how to make this vintage, crowd-pleasing, homemade eggnog. People who don’t normally like eggnog, usually end up liking this stuff. It’s creamy and not too “eggy”, if you know what I mean. It’s actually quite simple too. So don’t worry, you can do this.
6 fresh eggs with a good freshness date (no old eggs–ever!)
1/4 tsp ground cloves
1/4 tsp of ginger
1/4 tsp of Allspice
a sprinkle of nutmeg
1/4 cup of sugar (optional, you may think it’s sweet enough already)
2 quarts of orange juice
1 liter of lemon-lime soda pop
1/2 gallon of vanilla ice cream
var r = document.URL;
This is basically the blender we have. IT’S AWESOME!
We’ve had it for 16 years and it’s still going strong!!!!
Then pour in all of your egg/juice mixture.
This is what it looks like so far . . . we’re almost done.
And that’s it! You are done!
Here’s the difference between the chunky version and the melted version. Both are very very good.
Everyone loves this EGGNOG. Seriously.

First thing to do is inspect your eggs. There must be absolutely NO CRACKS or dried egg goop from another egg. Never use old eggs. Next, gently wash you eggs in soapy warm water. We use anti-bacterial soap as an extra precaution. Rinse and dry them.
Put the eggs, all the spices, the sugar, and the orange juice (as much juice as you can fit) into your blender. Mix thoroughly. Next, pour all your soda into a large punch bowl. Putting soda pop in first helps keep the frothiness down. Then pour in all of your egg/juice mixture. The last step is to add the whole carton of ice cream by the scoopful. Use the entire carton. The ice cream will eventually melt. Serve immediately and enjoy!
