Eggnog and other traditional drinks
In the past, eggnog was a beverage made of milk, sugar, eggs and alcohol. The name of the traditional eggnog comes from a wooden cup called "nog", which was used for serving it. Nowadays, eggnogs available in commercial quantities contain very few eggs and do not usually contain alcohol.
The classic recipe for this traditional drink is a simple one. Mix sugar, milk, and cream with a few herbs. Stir the mixture over low heat, until it thickens. After cooling, add the vanilla extract. Refrigerate the mixture until ready to use.

How To
How to make a martini that is good
A martini (or vodka) is made of gin, vermouth, ice and other ingredients. Before mixing the ingredients, it is important to thoroughly combine them. It is usually served in a chilled glass. A proper martini should be served straight up, without mixing it with anything else. Mixing it with anything else will ruin its taste.
A martini can be served with two olives. You can also put some olive brine on the rim of the glass if you want to give your drink extra flavor.
You can use any type of alcohol, but it's best to use 100% grain alcohol like Vodka or Gin. This gives the cocktail an easier texture. There are many kinds of vermouths. However, we recommend choosing one that doesn't contain added sugar. Cocktails can become too sweet with sugar.
Make a martini by adding 2 ounces of dry Vermouth to a shaker. Add 1 ounce vodka. Shake vigorously until well combined. Pour into a chilled martini glass and garnish with an olive.
Follow the steps above to make a martini with a shaker. You don't need to shake the mixture much, just enough to combine the ingredients.
