Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened to room temperature
- 4 cups powdered sugar
- 4 Tablespoons eggnog
- ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
- ¼ teaspoon rum extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- In a stand mixer using the whisk attachment, beat butter until light.

Notes
If you don't have eggnog on hand, cream works just as well. You may just want to add a pinch more nutmeg and an additional drop or two of room extract.
