the perfect eggnog

 

[LadyEmeraude]

I like traditional eggnogs and then spiked with Captain Morgans Rum, and one ice cube.

I went shopping yesterday and was able to find the brand of eggnog
I like, so got one. I tend to only drink eggnog a few months each year
during the holidays, once it appears on the shelves.

What types of eggnog do you like?

I don't.

However my dog seems to, and she doesn't appear particular as to type.

 

[JaniceM]

None.
The idea of raw eggs is nauseating, and I don't drink alcohol.

Not a fan of eggnog - much too rich for my taste. However, my mom liked it, but she bought a quart in the store. There used to be milk glass bowl and mug sets just for serving eggnog.

If Remy Martin is Brandy, I would love a bit of that in my Eggnog

 

[NorthernLight]

I love eggnog, any kind. With fruit cake!

 

[Paco Dennis]

I like to "sip" it....no alcohol.

 

[Llynn]

Darigold old fashioned brand, with or without rum. I will have some of NorthernLight's fruitcake too....if she is willing to share.

 

[Right Now]

There was a company who made it about an hour away from the state Police where I worked. My boss would stop in and buy 8 quarts for our dept. I can't recall the name, but it was delicious! He got it around Christmas time.

 

[Aunt Mavis]

I pass on nog. I pass on a lot of things now that I think about it.

 

[LadyEmeraude]

Amaretto Eggnog Cocktail, like these too, and the flavor

that was such a nice thing for your boss to do

 

[RadishRose]

I like any store brand egg nog, altho' I admit I haven't had any in some years. It used to be "Sealtest" mostly.

 

[caroln]

My mom used to make a delicious eggnog...non alcoholic. I wish I could remember how she made it. Eggs of course. Vanilla? Milk? I guess I need to go to recipes.com or something, but eggs are so expensive now, it's kind of costly to experiment with so many recipes to choose from.

 

[Remy]

There are some non dairy brands that are decent but I haven't bought any in years and a lot of this non dairy stuff has changed.

 

[Lucky]

It's not for me. Too thick and eggy.

 

[Jamala]

If Remy Martin is Brandy, I would love a bit of that in my Eggnog

Yes, similar to brandy but comes from the Cognac region of France and made from distilled white wine

I made eggnog for years, with raw eggs, before they started posting signs like this: "For your safety, we are required to cook all our eggs well done. Thank you for your understanding." Okay, fine. Thankfully, I've never been poisoned by an egg. Maybe it's because I'm particular about where I buy and eat my eggs.

In my youth, before the all-popular protein powders that now flood the market and before "raw eggs will kill you," I used to make my own instant protein breakfast drink that included a raw egg. Yeah, just call me Rocky.

Anyway, I would make up a batch of eggnog three weeks in advance and store it in the fridge. I left it there for three weeks because that seemed like the right amount of time for the flavors to marry and smooth out to perfection. I always thought if there was anything growing in there that the booze would, somehow, kill it. I'm glad that's been confirmed.

Because of all the hubbub and fear of salmonella contamination, I began cooking the eggs (like you'd make custard) to a safe temperature, so it would no longer be a concern. It was still good, just not as good as the one made with raw eggs.

BTW, fresh eggs don't float.

Ever since we became aware of salmonella in eggs, people have been wary of using them raw in the season's favorite libation. This might be of interest as the subject comes up every year around this time. It's an eyeopener.

Yet Another Reason To Spike That Eggnog > https://www.sciencefriday.com/videos/yet-another-reason-to-spike-that-eggnog/

As far as commercial eggnog goes, this one is my favorite: Organic Valley Eggnog is made with real and sustainably sourced ingredients: farm-fresh organic milk, cream, egg yolks, unrefined cane sugar, fair-trade organic vanilla extract, and nutmeg. It's nutty, smooth, nicely spiced, and tastes like Christmas. Of course, I doctor it with bourbon, añejo rum, and a slash of SoCo.
