How Long Does Eggnog Last in the Refrigerator
Here’s a quirky truth: Eggnog is basically a custard. It’s eggs and milk that are cooked (in store-bought versions) to survive longer.
Homemade eggnog is a dairy dream—and a nightmare for shelf life. Raw eggs are a wild card. They don’t play by the rules.
That’s why homemade spoils faster. It’s fresher, purer, and far more urgent. Drink it with reckless abandon within three days.
Freeze It? Oh, You Are A Genius
Yes, you can freeze eggnog. It’s a game-changer. Freeze it and it lasts up to three months.
But here’s the trick: It separates when thawing. It won’t be as silky. It’ll be a little sad and grainy.
You know what fixes that? Blending it. Or just using it for baking. No one judges thawed nog in a cookie recipe.
