I've told this story a hundred times, and it has never changed—and neither has our original family recipe!
I was introduced to the Schmidt Family recipe as a young boy, standing beside my father as we prepared it together for friends and family gatherings. Over the years, I haven't changed the recipe itself—it's perfect just as it is—but I've certainly perfected the care and craftsmanship I put into making each batch.
Word spread quickly about how delicious our recipe is, and before long, everyone wanted a taste! Today, I pour meticulous attention into every single batch, ensuring that each sip captures the same unforgettable flavor and exceptional quality that my family has cherished for generations.
Well, I'm not going to give away all my secrets, but here's what I can share...
It's the perfect combination of PASTEURIZED EGGS, WATER, SUGAR, and ALL THE RIGHT BOOZES! Absolutely NO DAIRY, NO CREAM, and NO MILK! That's why I proudly say, "It's not your typical eggnog!"
Remember, EGGS are NOT dairy—they're only conveniently sold in the dairy section.
And sorry, but this recipe simply can't be made non-alcoholic—every ingredient listed relies on the others to create its signature taste!
Eggnog season starts mid-October and runs through early February.
