Dark Rum or Cognac right? Or do you recommend a Brandy?

Also, any extra additions besides a little nutmeg on top?

I'll be spending Christmas alone in lockdown, so I'm not trying to impress anyone.

TIA

I prefer bourbon to other spirits. I use Makers for my eggnog, because the wheated bourbons have a nice sweetness that pairs well with it. A good rye pairs well too, because rye is heavy on the holiday spice flavor profile already. Dark rum is my third choice (Cruzan black strap rum for this)

I think dark rum pairs best with it. Toss in a little bit of fireball just for the cinnamon flavor or some peppermint schnapps

If your liquor store carries it, Benchmark's Eggnog is superior to Evan Williams or any other store bought alcoholic eggnog.

My go to for egg nog or bourbon and coke is Ezra Brooks.

I wouldn't use anything better than a Jim Beam for just a mixed drink.
