Merlin Orr Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 I am making up a little Christmas Cheer and wonder what your favorite is for the alcohol additive..? Note this is for Christmas eggnog. NOT your garden variety Holliday eggnog! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AzShooter Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 E-J Brandy seems to be the most popular but any good brandy will do. Last night I spiked min with Knob Creek Whiskey. Yippie. I fell asleep and soon after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boo radley Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 About a quart of Robitussin DM ought to prove interesting..... Seriously, brandy or light rum. The stuff is so sweet and thick, there's no point in wasting the subtleties of good liquor, IMO. I'll bet a nice presentation could be had by warming a small quantity of brandy, too, pouring on top carefully, and lighting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Sierpina Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Personally, I'd lean to dark rum. Bourbon is another good choice. I don't think I'd like to waste good alcohol by flaming it! Merrry Christmas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davidball Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Rum is probably the most traditional adult beverage additive. I'm more of a traditionalist - I like my nog straight up, thick, creamy and smooth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doggorloader Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 There is no substitute for making it yourself! Noel Nog: 10 Large eggs 2 1/4 cups granulated sugar 2 cups 1/2&1/2 2 cups heavy cream 1/4 tsp grated fresh nutmeg + some for garnish 1 tsp pure vanila extract 1/4 cup bourbon 1/4 cup brandy 6 large egg whites In a large heavy bottomed saucepan, beat together the eggs and sugar. Stir in the half&half. Cook over low heat stirring constantly until the mixture is thick enough to coat a metal spoon with a thin film and reaches at least 160 degrees. Remove from the heat. Stir in the cream, nutmeg, vanila, bourbon, and brandy. Cool and refrigerate until you serve it. Just before serving beat the egg whites in a large bowl with an electric mixer on high speed until stiff peaks form and fold them in to the nog. Serve in cold mugs with a sprinkle of nutmeg. Warning! It only makes about 4 good drinks so adjust accordingly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Remember separate the egg yolks from the egg whites before beating together the eggs and sugar, otherwise you won't have the whites to fold in at the end.

Merlin Orr Posted December 20, 2005 Author Share Posted December 20, 2005 Well, looks like it will be hard to go wrong. I may just try em all. (except the Robutussin ) I'm feeling kinda froggy so I may just try Doggo's recipe while I'm at it! Cheers! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Liota This is Egg Nog and I have never seen Egg Nog in any of the "Eat Healthy" or any other healthfood publications. Maybe it should have a warning label....like "Drinking more than 2 pitchers of this mixture may clog you completely" or "Don't be surprised if your body weight increases by 25 lbs. with regular use of this concoction" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Merlin Orr Posted December 21, 2005 Author Share Posted December 21, 2005 (edited) Mark By looking at your sig lines I can see we have some things in common. We did the "nog" thing last evening. Out of a carton with Meyers Dark Rum. Pretty tasty for what it was. After the nog it was Cubra Libras... I had forgotten how dark liqu0rs affected you the next day. OHhooooo my head....
