CIDER EGGNOG
This refreshing autumnal twist on the classic eggnog replaces heavy cream with crisp sweet cider for a lighter, fruit-forward beverage. The rich, velvety texture of the shaken egg perfectly balances the tart sweetness of the apple cider, creating a frothy and satisfying drink. Finished with a dusting of aromatic nutmeg, it offers a delightful combination of creamy and crisp flavors perfect for cool weather.
