Fresh eggs? Be careful with the eggnog itself!
The sticking point in making your own eggnog is the eggs: they have to be completely fresh and should not bring any unpleasant odors or flavors. Even a small amount of egg yolk with slightly foul or fishy smell can ruin your whole production.
Therefore, be careful that you only really fresh, undamaged eggs used, which also have no discoloration. If you are unsure: Better to use another egg. Alternatively, you can take pasteurized egg or heat the egg very high during production. So at least you rule out that Salmonella get into your liqueur.

What is eggnog actually?
Behind the name hides a creamy liqueur of rum, egg yolk, milk, sugar and honey. The result is a creamy, viscous alcohol that is eaten as an aperitif for coffee at Easter and Christmas time. If homemade eggnog is served on the table, it is usually made from egg yolks, vanilla and powdered sugar, condensed milk and rum. Characteristic of the eggnog is the intense taste of egg yolks. The eggs also give the liqueur its color.
