The Show brings you more holiday spirit, this time in the form of a traditional beverage.

We’re not so sure about the nog part, but we know for certain that our executive producer Amy Silverman includes quite a few eggs in her holiday eggnog.

She swears she’s not trying to kill us — but we weren’t so sure as we sat down to taste test the concoction that’s been brewing in the back of her refrigerator for the last two years.

Silverman makes eggnog every year — and has for more than a decade. She brought three batches of Puerto Rican eggnog, which contains coconut, into the KJZZ studio recently: one from 2021, one from 2022 and one from 2023.
