There is no official best alcoholic eggnog. Eggnog is a dairy punch, not a TTB spirit class. Carton lots may be 0% or already spiked — read the neck. Typical whiskey or rum additions sit at 40%. A 1.5-ounce 40% pour is one drink. No 2026 fifteen-brand list.

Count the spirit, not the nutmeg. Pour math: spirit drinks.
