6 servings

20 minutes

Eggnog with brandy and fresh cherries is an elegant blend of a traditional winter drink and noble alcohol, adorned with juicy berries. The origins of eggnog trace back to Europe, where it symbolized warmth and coziness on cold evenings. Its rich creamy flavor with hints of vanilla and sweet cane sugar is perfectly complemented by the sharpness of brandy, creating a harmony of tastes. Fresh cherries add a light tartness, making the drink even more refined. Eggnog can be served hot or chilled and is perfect for festive evenings or cozy gatherings by the fireplace. A light dusting of cocoa powder completes the composition, giving a delicate chocolate accent.
