Rum
No eggnog would be complete without a little rum. In Puerto Rican eggnog, the rum is what gives the drink its signature kick. Be sure to use a high-quality rum for the best flavor.

To add warm and cozy holiday flavors to your eggnog, you'll need cinnamon and nutmeg. These spices are essential for creating that classic eggnog taste.
Condensed Milk and Evaporated Milk
To give your eggnog its creamy consistency, you'll need both condensed milk and evaporated milk. These ingredients are also what make Puerto Rican eggnog different from traditional eggnog, as they add a rich and decadent texture.
Vanilla Extract
Finally, you'll need a splash of vanilla extract to round out the flavors and add a touch of sweetness.
