Uncle Jim’s Wild West Egg Nog
This recipe has been passed down in my family for several generations since at least the 1800s! Growing up, my Uncle Jim used to make it every Christmas and the tradition was to make it without any electronic equipment, just like our ancestors did. However, unless you want a good arm workout, I highly recommend using a stand mixer.
