Boooooooooooooooooooooo... I just had some rum + egg nog and I just learned that alcohol floats on top of egg nog. I did no stirring. Rum + coke usually mixes itself adequately. Ran into a strata with nog. Use it as an excuse to pour more alcohol. Too bad about the full stomach, be wasted otherwise now.

Yes, but only what I make myself. The ingredient list of store-bought egg nog is scary.

I found some candy-cane flavoured eggnog. I am curious about trying it.

Eggnog and me don't get along well. I like eggnog but I don't like the after effects.

Raw egg nog is actually fairly quick and simple to make. Cooked nog is a bit more difficult and takes longer.

I prefer raw egg nog.

Good article for those who wish to give it a whirl (both recipe variations):

Yeah, it was the cooked version.

But I think they even seperated the whites on the family version of the cooked one.

It seemed similar.

I knew I was forgetting something.

Still wish had the old family made from scratch recipe, but that was a hella lot of work, the Aunts in the family used to get together and make it in the kitchen from scratch.

Usually Jim Beam was involved I think.

Might get some Bourbon and Nogg tomorrow.

Eggnog is whipped eggs, sugar, and cream / milk. Throw in a little Bourbon and you've got yourself a disgusting holiday treat!

No idea why eggnog is so popular.

I've made some which was supposed to be amazing, and guests told me its the best they've ever had.

To me it just tasted exactly like sugar in an absurd amount of heavy cream. Not a good taste.
