Eggnog is a traditional part of the holidays, but if you are trying to limit your sugar intake—which can be very difficult this time of year—this sweet beverage may be something you cross off the list. With this sugar-free recipe, however, you can enjoy this festive drink and still have your Christmas cookie too.

This recipe provides three methods of making eggnog, including cooked and uncooked versions and a nonalcoholic version. If going the uncooked route, make sure to use pasteurized eggs (see the note, below).
