Ponche Navideño (Dominican Eggnog)

A recipe that’s been a decade in the making, tried and tested by my own mother, this Dominican eggnog will become your go to eggnog recipe during the holiday season! 

This classic Dominican eggnog is packed with spiced rum and brandy, and comes from my Mom, who has been making this recipe for almost a decade!

 Continuing with the holiday recipes, this one comes all the way from the Caribbean island of the Dominican Republic, where I was born and raised for the first 24 years of my life. An island where winter is a fairytale, one we Dominicans only experience when we travel to places up north. But even without winter, we celebrate the holidays in full force – because who needs a “white Christmas” when you can go to the beach and suntan on Christmas morning?!

Today’s recipe for Dominican Eggnog is thanks to my mom (did you see her recipe for Dominican Cake?!) – she’s been my inspiration for all thing foods. Whether we baked together while I was growing up or we just sat over a cup of coffee talking about life, our lives have been surrounded by food moments.

This eggnog was made only during the holiday season, so it was always a special treat. It’s not too boozy, just boozy enough but you can definitely make it without the booze for a non-alcoholic version. It only gets better with age, so you’re in for a treat for the rest of December!
