One of my all-time favourite drinks for the holiday season is eggnog. And it is something I make often and drink a lot at Christmastime and into the New Year.
This is a very nice recipe. It’s by Tasty Yummies.
I like to make my own cashew milk. But you can use Silk.

Exposing the Big Game 
A couple of years ago, I wrote to the company that makes Bailey’s Irish Cream to ask them if they could make a vegan version using cashew ‘milk’ or the like. One day, back in 2017 while reading Vegan Health & Fitness there was a blurb about how Baileys will be launching a vegan version of their Irish cream for January 2018, I think. Now, I’d like to think my writing to them had something to do with them launching a vegan version, but who knows. I liken it to ‘squeaky wheel gets the oil…’ but… I have yet to see it sold in any of my local liquor stores, have you?
Called Baileys Almande, it’s made with almond milk, almond essence, cane sugar, purified water and real vanilla. Unlike the dairy-free version which launched last year (made with honey and beeswax), the new Baileys is entirely vegan too. … And it’s safe to say British vegans are hugely excited by the news.Sep 18, 2017
Oh yum! And a vegan version of Bailey’s Irish Cream? Can’t wait to try.
I just ‘Googled’ it. Target sells it. It’s made with almond milk. I can’t wait to try it either. 🙂
Me either.
My grandma used to make her own Irish Cream and give it out -for Christmas.Of course hers was loaded with dairy.
That’s easy enough to find then! Thanks.
I like to make candy and chocolates around the holidays with these kinds of liquors, so I’m looking forward to trying this.
Yum.
