Damn I love Eggnog!!!

[Air Pirate]

because its part of the whole holiday thing...........................?

was that a joke and i missed it?

 

[Brew Runner]

Yeah, I'm wondering if I missed the punchline....

I would suggest having a look at the caloric content of egg nog. The holidays are a time of exuberance, and we should make smart choices.

Egg nog has twice the calories of a good homebrew (even without the rum - with rum, x3) Why not turn down the egg nog, and instead say 'yes please' to two homebrews.

Not to get all 'up-in-yo-face' or nothin , but to me I think a better approach is to eat well the year round, and then splurge in the holidays. I mean if I eat veggies and grains, etc 345 days out of the year and the other 20 I have loads of fatty, high caloric foods, I don't think it's too big a deal personally :fro:

1 small cup (250 ml) of eggnog = ~ 1 pint of homebrew
1 small cup (250 ml) of eggnog w/ rum = ~ 2 pints of homebrew

easy choice for me

I used to make this as a kid before I knew it was supposed to have alcohol in it. Also, This was when nobody really complained about raw eggs too much.
I still make it and I don't worry about the raw egg thing

1 1/2 - 2 cups whole milk
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon Cinnamon
a hint of nutmeg
2-3 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
Blend in blender

Now, I find that like 1/2 a shot of Evan Williams Burbon tops the whole thing off! a whole shot is overpowering flaver wise. I find that that hint of burbon really just adds a perfect flavor and too much of it ruins it. This is one time I believe moderation is key to getting the perfect flavor ballance.

Love me some eggnog and Southern Comfort! Being lactose intolerant it is a love hate relationship. When I was younger I use to pound the McDonalds eggnog milk shakes.

Eggnog! :rockin:

 

[seatazzz]

I like mine with a healthy tot of Captain Morgans Dark spiced rum (or Kraken if I have it). Also in my coffee (with the rum as well, wakey-wakey let's get bakey!!)

 

[arturo7]

God, I hope it's not in stores yet. I drink it like an animal that would drink a shvt ton of eggnog if eggnog were something that an animal would drink.

Long live the necroposts!

 

[Zuljin]

And long live the eggnog! At least long live it November through February.

Eggnog, with bourbon. Oh yeah, it's the holidays.

Here is a recipe I've used for several years and it's always in demand during the Holiday Season. Try it and thank me later! Apologies if it's already been posted...haven't read through all the posts yet...

10 eggs, separated
3 cups granulated sugar
1.5 pints (24 fluid ounces) white rum
1 quart heavy cream
1 pint (16 fluid ounces) bourbon whiskey
1 pint (16 fluid ounces) brandy
3 quarts milk (I always use whole milk)
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Beat the egg yolks until smooth. Pour beaten yolk into pot or mixing
bowl having at least a 6-quart capacity. Add the sugar and stir well.
Add the rum slowly and beat to dissolve the sugar. Add the cream and
stir to blend. Add the bourbon, brandy, milk, and spices, mixing well
after each addition. In a separate mixing bowl, beat the egg whites
until frothy and smooth but not too firm, about 3 minutes with an
electric beater on high. Add the egg white to the mixture. Beat the
mixture well, about 5 minutes. Ladle the egg nog into storage bottles,
taking care to portion the foamy top froth equally into the bottles.
Stir the mixture vigorously between bottles to mix up any sugar or
spice sediment. Chill bottles. For a milder, creamier egg nog, drink
within one day. Egg nog can be aged for up to 6 weeks and gets
stronger and more complex with time. Shake bottles at least once a
week to keep mixed, and shake well before serving. Makes about 6
quarts.

Apparently, we've got done kind of a goddvmmed egg nog shortage going on out here. Hit 3 stores last week, came up empty. 4 stores yesterday before I found some low-grade stuff. Bah-humbug.

If you can find it, look for "CatDaddy Spiced Carolina Moonshine".

It is a plain corn whiskey, spiced with nutmeg and vanilla. It has a thick, sweet, liquer consistency.

If you like Egg Nog, this stuff is AMAZING! It is like an Egg Nog liquer. so tasty.
