Rum Eggnog
This recipe by Rachael's husband, John Cusimano, is a delish twist on a classic holiday drink. It's lighter (skim milk replaces heavy cream!) but just as wonderful thanks to a trick John developed: Froth the milk using a cappuccino frother. You still get a creamy drink - without the cream!
