Bourbon Eggnog with Maple Candied Bacon

Eliza Cross
The sweet flavor of bourbon pairs perfectly with creamy eggnog, and is topped with a delectable strip of maple candied bacon. The rim of the mug is dipped in a delicious mixture of brown sugar, natural cane sugar and nutmeg for a sweet spicy accent with every sip.
