Recipes:

Spiked Eggnog
Container of purchased eggnog
Southern Comfort
E&J Brandy
Evan Williams Bourbon
cinnamon for garnish
Have eggnog already poured into glass mug and discuss how people are often unsure how to add a little kick to their eggnog for the holidays. For December's cocktail of the month, we recommend sprucing up your eggnog with either a splash of Southern Comfort, E&J Brandy or Evan Williams Bourbon. You can make whichever you prefer and then just garnish with cinnamon.
