If you have ever watched Christmas Vacation, you’d know that few drinks go as well with the holidays as good old eggnog. But since we are millennials (see: the generation that fell in love with Four Loko), you know we need to punch up our eggnog so that we can get as tuned up as humanly possible this holiday season.
With that in mind, here are three drink recipes that will help us accomplish our mission.
