Call it a drink, call it a dessert – either way, this is the perfect Christmas treat.
By Tamara Novacoviç
Even though in Croatia we like our mulled wine for Christmas holidays, this year I’m experimenting a bit and introducing a new Christmas drink to my family: eggnog. I would call it a dessert and drink in one. I love its full flavor and creamy texture, it’s the perfect thing to warm you up and start a Christmas party.
