We waited until at least the beginning of December to present a Holiday Eggnog recipe. The month’s first recipe is from Basil Hayden, distilled and bottled by Jim Beam. Basil Hayden is an authentic Kentucky product.
At $40, this is a great price point to introduce the rich flavor of bourbon into a Holiday drink without stretching the wallet.
