Costa Rican-Style Eggnog

(5 stars based on 4 reviews)
Popular throughout Latin America, this holiday Costa Rican-Style Eggnog is traditionally served at Christmastime and to ring in the New Year. Generously spiked with dark rum and flavored with cinnamon and nutmeg, it is especially festive when garnished with a bit of grated coconut or a sprinkle of nutmeg. For a unique hostess gift, pour the chilled eggnog into a pretty bottle tied with a ribbon.

    Creamy, even with substitutes!

    Sasha Carlile from

    I love this recipe. I had to tweak it, since evap. milk is very expensive where I live. (We are in the Caribbean right now.) I used evap. milk made from whole cream powdered milk. I also used about 1/4 cup of 80proof rum since I cannot buy rum flavoring here. I am not a drinker so I added the rum before I cooked it. Creamy, yummy, but beware - it is soooo good, you'll want to keep drinking it!

    I love Eggnog!

    DOLORES HAMILTON from EL CAJON, CA

    This one is not like that thick stuff you get from the store. With the rum mixed in, it is a great hostess gift to take to a Holiday party. The tropical flavor from the rum is great.
