Admit you like egg nog

[Ahmad]

I like eggnog but i've never tried it with any alcohol in it. Does it enhance the taste?

His recipe and that episode of Good Eats is exactly why I tried, and loved, egg nog. I make this at least once a year

Just adds a different "dimension" to the taste. Hard to explain, but it's really good. I used Jim Beam in the recipe quoted above and it was delicious. Tried another batch with Maker's Mark, like AB used in the show, and it was almost as good. Give it a shot and play around with it until you find your favorite.

Have never made it myself.

How does homemade compare to store bought.

Any food safety concerns about raw eggs. I always used to lick cake batter as a kid without fear. But something about raw eggs and milk have me concerned.

Yeah, the farts are terrible. The warning label states that if you're gonna drink the stuff you shouldn't be around small animals or children.

I couldn't find the Silk nog this year! But that is good stuff.

Depends on your taste buds but it does enhance the experience that's for sure.

I am a fan of the Southern Comfort Vanilla Spice Egg Nog with whiskey or rum mixed in.

My brother made the nonalcoholic cooked version this Christmas while we were up visiting family. Ususally I'll have half a glass and I'm good, but Alton Brown's recipe is amazing. I think the store bought stuff is too thick and sweet.

Between that and the milk punch my wife made, the holidays were merry and bright!
