how long does fresh eggnog last in the refrigerator?
Eggnog is a very rich dairy product made with eggs, milk, sugar and cream (and usually alcohol in the homemade varieties). When properly stored at or below 40Â°F (4.4Â°C), unopened canned eggnogs lasts for 4-5 months in the refrigerator and homemade eggnogs lasts for 2-3 days in the same condition. For all opened containers of eggnogs they last for 5 days in the refrigerator. You can help eggnog keep fresh longer by keeping it away from light and by placing it in the back of your refrigerator immediately after use. Store eggnog on an interior refrigerator shelf rather than in the door, where the temperature fluctuates with frequent opening.
