The Unexaggerated Exceptional Example of an Eggnog Episode: Live on GHRT
On today’s holiday episode of Cocktails with Friends, Bob Cutler crashes into the George Hale Ric Tyler show once again to deliver the good news of eggnog to the whole world. Eggnog grows silkier and more integrated with age, meaning patience is just as integral and ingredient as the egg itself.
As the holidays may require one to entertain guests, you may find yourself stuck behind the bar when you should be out and about. Bob has a solution, though, a trade secret to being the host with the most: a secret which is something that you’ll just have to hear for yourself by tuning into this week’s episode!
You’ll also find three recipes in this episode: one for Eggnog, one for Grasshopper Eggnog, and one for Eggnog Espresso Martini. See below:
