Does anyone have a decent eggnog recipe, preferably one with alcohol?

Also, which alcohol is best, or is it mainly to taste? I know brandy, whiskey and rum are often used.

Or, should I just buy some from the store and add my own alcohol?

I love my eggnog with some single barrel aged Cruzan Rum and a bit of nutmeg on the top.

Honestly, I think it tastes better without the alcohol.
The recipe from the Better Homes & Gardens cookbook is good.

I just get a bunch of eggnog quarts, throw a hefty amount of jack or southern comfort and top off the glass with some nutmeg.

Once you've had homemade though, it's tough to go back to store-bought.

For me, the convenience that the store bought offers outweighs the assembling that homemade requires, even if the homemade may be better quality.

Festival brand > all others

I just add some of my Appleton Estate Extra (12 years aged) rum and relax.

Maker's Mark is the bourbon of choice when it comes to spiking the egg nog. If you've never had it, you'll know it's right as soon as you smell it in the bottle.

I haven't tried Alton Brown's cooked recipe, but from what I read in the comments, it comes out a bit thicker than the uncooked variety. I'll give it a whirl this year.

It's pretty much the same, you just heat the yolks up a bit before adding the other ingredients.
