Key Takeaways Shake store-bought eggnog with ice to lighten sweetness and add airy froth. Pour 3/4 cup eggnog into a cocktail shaker, add ice (and optional rum or bourbon) for an elevated treat. No cocktail shaker? Use a sealed jar to get the same chilled, frothy effect. One of my fondest holiday memories as a kid was seeing the golden-hued carton of Hood eggnog in the refrigerator.

There’s nothing better than a classic steakhouse salad. Crisp lettuce, salty bits of bacon and blue cheese, and a creamy dressing speckled with black pepper are the restaurant mainstays coming together to create the perfect backup singers for a hearty steak. This recipe celebrates that winning combination, swapping the lettuce for hearty chicories like radicchio and frisée, which give this salad an edge with their intense flavor and robust crunch.
