Eggnog pairs with a variety of different spirits, most of which may already exist in your home. Brandy is the most traditional spirit to pair with eggnog, but there are other liquors that pair well with the nutmeg spices in eggnog. Some of my favorites to create a good spiked eggnog recipe are:
- Bourbon
- Brandy
- Cognac
- Crown Royal Vanilla
- Dark Rum
- Disaronno Liqueur
- Irish Cream Liqueur (Baileys is my favorite)
- Vanilla Vodka
- Vodka
