How We Tested

We purchased eight different cartons of eggnog from a variety of grocery store chains.

They then selected an overall winner.

It was also ranked as the overall favorite by several editors.

Nice consistency and good spice, was how one editor described it.

Another said it was very creamy, not too sweet, and has a good spice level.

Ooh, I like the spice in this one, shared one editor.

It feels dimensional to me."

Very sweet, nearly boiled custard which is why I like it, shared one editor.

Its classic eggnog flavor without being overly sweet won over the testers.

Its the most well-rounded, said one editor.

Another described it as the closest to homemade.
