So like many folks - I intend to get sloppy on the egg nog.

What are everyones favorite alcohol to put in the nog? I've been drinking the stuff virgin for a couple weeks now, it will soon be time to get smashed on it.

Post recipes, drink variations, ideas, etc.

I tend to prefer scotch or a whisky, but I'm completely open to ideas. Is there one particular kind of alcohol that is traditionally added?
 
Most people add rum. I had a couple of glasses of the old nog yesterday with some friends, and a good time was had by all.
 
I like to add Brandy or Rum. Or get really crazy with it and add both with just a slight topping of nog 😛

:thumbsup: I've used Jack Daniels (although its not actually a bourbon), but I'm going to try Maker's Mark this year.

Do you realize how much fat that stuff has in it?

That said, I think brandy is the preferred spirit to add to egg nog.
 
We had eggnog with Advocaat in it last year and that was pretty good, though a little redundant I suppose.

Makers is alright, if it's going in nog or getting mixed with coke they start to taste the same. I like Weller's and Old Forester for bargain mixing.
 
"Do you realize how much fat that stuff has in it? "

Yup, thus the holiday "spread".

I thought of rum, but figured that was a rather generic spirit more suited to pina colada or cokes.

Brandy would be very nice methinks - and I think that is the traditional ingredient. Peppermint schnapps! WOW! never thought of that!

So I think a bottle of makers, some Bacardi white, E&J, and maybe a cheap single malt scotch, and the peppermint schnapps to round it out - and I have myself and all my relatives a good ole fashioned drunkmas.

Me trying to outdrink aunt April will be the highlight of the evening.
 
It's traditionally brandy/bourbon. I bought some store stuff, I've been highly considering just gettin a little bottle of maker's for it.
 
I actually don't like alcohol in my egg nog. I never liked sweet + alcohol. I love egg nog though and will drink a half gallon of it easily.
 
brandy > bourbon > dark rum > irish > spiced rum

i've never wasted scotch on egg nog, and 'decent' brandy is less than half the price of makers mark

My families recipe is is to cut 1/2 gallon egg nog with 1/2 gallon vanilla ice cream and 3/4 cup each of brandy, bourbon and dark rum
