Punchbowl

For a large group or party, serve eggnog in a punchbowl. The punchbowl allows guests to get their own drinks and serves as a nice display. Add whipped cream and cinnamon to the bowl and lightly swirl it into the eggnog, leaving a visible swirl. Use small shooter glasses for guests to drink from.

Shot Glasses

Using small shot glasses is a great way to have guests sample your eggnog recipe. Mix cinnamon and allspice together, and put it on a plate. Store shot glasses in the freezer for 20 to 30 minutes. Remove glasses from freezer and dip the tops of the glasses into the cinnamon and allspice mixture. Pour eggnog into glasses and serve.
