I love eggnog! I can't drink very much in one sitting because it is so rich, but I make sure to have a glass or two every holiday season. I've never tried it with alcohol but I hear it is
even better that way, so I am going to give it a try this year.
I've never had it myself. I was thinking about trying the Eggnog coffee mate but then I remembered mixed opinions like these So I passed. Hmmm. Wouldn't be the same anyway.
i was thisclose to trying it on saturday, and i SO wanted to (i feel like i'm missing out!) but the host who was trying to serve it to us ran out of spiced rum and we ended up having beer
instead
then we ran out to buy spiced rum so we could have some later, and again, i ended up leaving for a party and never had any! maybe at Christmas!
yummm, i LOVE eggnog! but it is super rich, so i can only have a little bit of it. and its even better with alcohol, just don't drink too much b/c i have a feeling it wouldn't be too good to
be sick on.
I always loved the store-bought kind growing up, and when I got older, I started experimenting with making my own (and adding booze, of course!). I have now created a hybrid recipe from about
10 other recipes, and I love it. I make it every year for my New Year's party and I'm not the only one downing it! For those who've never had it, it's usually a rather thick and creamy dairy
drink that tastes like vanilla and holiday spices (nutmeg, allspice, cinnamon, etc.), and it can be non-alcoholic or it can have alcohol (some people like rum in it; I personally prefer
bourbon).
oh my goddess i had the best egg nog concoction over the weekend. i love plain olf
store bought egg nog but with a shot of this liquor just took it over the top, along with the whip cream and cinnamon.
I forgot what the liquor is called but it tastes like egg nog by itself and just ass more the the yumminess of the drink. It's a branch off of the jager products. . . not the bearhunter. . .
oiye, i'll find the bottle and update with the title.
I don't really like egg nog, but I love coquito. It is a Puerto Rican version of egg nog made with cream of coconut and rum, among other things. It is soo yummy, I actually just made some
last night. I highly recommend it!
I dont think* there's raw eggs in it, but actually... looking at some recipes, it does lol. But that seems sort of strange. Anyway, I couldn't taste any egg!
I love eggnog, but I've never had it with alcohol and I kind of want to try it this year. Is it better with spiced rum or bourbon? Is it served warm when it's served with alcohol? How much
alcohol do you put in?
I love eggnog! It's not something I'd want to drink in say, April, but it tastes like Christmas! Along with chai lattes and spiced ciders, eggnog really makes the holidays for me.
I stock up on the soy nog when it's in season. I need to remember to buy a few extra cartons before the end of the month when they yank them off the shelves!
For those who claim you don't like it or don't want to try it because of the eggs...do you dislike French toast because it's made with eggs? I don't think egg nog tastes at all eggy; more
like vanilla (and maybe a bit malted as aphill4 said). And the traditional way is to make it with raw eggs, but I am also skeptical of that - I have no way to check if the eggs are
salmonella-free, so I'm wary of using raw eggs. My recipe involves cooking the egg mixture over low heat until it's thick enough to coat the back of a spoon.
As for alcohol, spiced rum would make it a little sweeter, while I prefer bourbon which gives it some warmth and a hearty kick (we like to use good bourbon, preferably Bulleit). It's served
cold no matter what, though - I've never heard of egg nog served warm. I make mine the day before and chill it in the fridge overnight before serving so it's good and cold.
I personally like to cut my eggnog with milk, maybe a little more than half of eggnog and then the rest with milk. During the day, I'll drink it cold but at night when I'm snuggling up with
my kitty and watching tv, I'll heat it up in the microwave and sprinkle some cinnamon on top!
On Xmas eve, my family and I heat up some eggnog and then we like to walk or drive around looking at Christmas decorations in the neighborhood or around town.
Quick & yummy recipe, take sliced challah bread, dip it in eggnog (not too long, but you want it pretty saturated) & cook in a pan w/a little butter, it's awesome!

Debut
never had it! what does it taste like?
1I love eggnog! I can't drink very much in one sitting because it is so rich, but I make sure to have a glass or two every holiday season. I've never tried it with alcohol but I hear it is even better that way, so I am going to give it a try this year.
2I've never had full on eggnog, but i like to get an eggnog steamer (eggnog and steamed milk) from starbucks during the holidays.
3ewwwww no!
4my bf can drink a HUGE glass of it in like 2 minutes but me....YUCKIE!
I don't like it at all, but my husband thinks he needs it around the holidays..
lawchick - it tastes, to me, like really thick milk, or maybe melted ice cream, with a bit of cinnamon.
5Really? That's it? But that sounds yummy..
I've never had it myself. I was thinking about trying the Eggnog coffee mate but then I remembered mixed opinions like these
So I passed. Hmmm. Wouldn't be the same anyway.
6I love it! We are making it on Saturday for our holiday party.
7it's just not my taste, I'm more of a hot cocoa girl.
8Love the nogg icecream too!
9Guys love eggnog. My brother and my guy friend both love to get those cartons of eggnog from the grocery store.
10i was thisclose to trying it on saturday, and i SO wanted to (i feel like i'm missing out!) but the host who was trying to serve it to us ran out of spiced rum and we ended up having beer instead

12nope - never have and i don't think that i ever will.
13When I was in LA this past weekend I tried Caramel Egg nog, was sooooo good!
14I like it, but for a less rich flavor try Soynog or lite eggnog. So good!

17I don't mind the taste, but I find it [lactose] intolerable.
18hmmm a cinnamony milky drink sounds good to me, but does it have raw eggs in it? cuz that's gross
19I've never tried it before, but I've always been curious to see what it tastes like! I would definitely try it if someone else made it for me.
20Yuck!
21I love me some.
22Makes me gag to think about it even.
23I don't really like egg nog, but I love coquito. It is a Puerto Rican version of egg nog made with cream of coconut and rum, among other things. It is soo yummy, I actually just made some last night. I highly recommend it!

26Blech. My BF's family does coquito every year (the Puerto Rican version of eggnog), and they all love it but it totally grosses me out.
27I love eggnog! It's not something I'd want to drink in say, April, but it tastes like Christmas! Along with chai lattes and spiced ciders, eggnog really makes the holidays for me.

28i can't bring myself to try it because it has eggs in it...ew.
29I love having it once a year!
30The holidays arent complete for me without a sugar cookie and some egg nog(with whiskey)!
31I looooove egg nog! And where else can you get 2378 calories in one glass???
32I like mine with a touch of rum.
33I really really want to, but honestly, it makes me gag.
34I stock up on the soy nog when it's in season. I need to remember to buy a few extra cartons before the end of the month when they yank them off the shelves!
35It's a once a year indulgence, always alcohol-free.
36this year was the first time to try it at a friend's place, and loved it!
37I really don't like eggs, so no to eggnog. I'd rather have hot chocolate or chai
38once a year type thing for me. Tastes like melted vanilla malt shake.

40Mmmmmmmm, eggnog.
My MIL makes the best
41I don't consume any egg-based products and haven't since I was 4. Plus, no one in my family has ever been a fan so we never have it around the house.
Eggnog =
42I personally like to cut my eggnog with milk, maybe a little more than half of eggnog and then the rest with milk. During the day, I'll drink it cold but at night when I'm snuggling up with my kitty and watching tv, I'll heat it up in the microwave and sprinkle some cinnamon on top!

45I can only drink the 'light' one...the regular is wayyyyyy to rich for me.
46But the light stuff is :)yum:)
