Eggnog
 

Do you like it? If so, do you buy it or make it? Have you ever aged it?

I'm thinking about making this: http://altonbrown.com/eggnog-recipe/

I have never drank eggnog. I've always been a boiled custard man myself.

No.

Pass

only with whiskey

That recipe I posted has rum, cognac, and bourbon!

The wife makes an eggnog cheesecake that's unbelievable.

What is this boiled custard thing you speak of?

It's okay. I can't remember the last time I actually drank any other than using a little in my coffee as a creamer this time of year. Thanks for reminding me. :)

No

Love me some cheesecake. Recipe?

Never understood why people like it.

I like the boozy kind. Not so much the non-boozy kind.

Maybe it's a regional thing. It's always sold in stores around here right beside the nog every Christmas. Home made is better than store bought.

Basic ingredients: sugar, milk, vanilla, eggs.

I deliver it.

I bet it would be good with a coffee liqueur.

Think of Tebow's first time as you bring that glass to your lips.

I like eggnog.

But Milk Nog? I'd punch babies in the face to get it. I love it.

Eggnog FTW

Love me some eggnog.

I'm just the eater my friend, but will get it for you.

Yes. Eggnog is great. If you drink a full glass of it you will gain fifty pounds.

Eggnog rools.

I like it. I've made it but usually buy it. Don't have it often 'cuz it's so fattening.

Seconded. I do like the stuff, w/brandy or rum. Bourbon if you have some bourbon that doesn't suit you 'as is'. If you have a party, get some whipping cream and use your mixer to whip it up good, fold that into your home made or store bought egg nog after you've mixed your brandy/rum in, just before serving. Sprinkle w/freshly grated nutmeg and you'll become a legend in your own time. Legend wait for it dairy!

I only drink Shatto Egg Nog, but since the nearest store that carries it is 140 miles away, nowadays, I just do without.

I miss Shatto so much!

I just mixed and put the eggnog in the fridge, not to be looked at again until Christmas.

I have one question: Doesn't the dairy go bad? Not the eggs so much but milk and cream? Or does the alcohol preserve it or just hide the rotted milk?

I screened saved that Brown recipe though for my archives.

Q

But, yes. This stuff is liquid paradise.

Bacteria can't survive if it's alcoholic enough. So no, it won't go bad. The alcohol preserves it.

I like to drink a lil nog this time of the year.

Ive never made it though.

Curious to see how others do theirs....

I like brandy & nog over ice

if it involved an evinrude you'd think about it.

thats a pretty fair recipe. about the only difference was whip the whites with our hands on the bowl and mix them in the constantly stirred custard mix.

Appreciate it . Thanks

It's much better with Myers' Dark Rum :D

Dave Attel put it best:

“Eggnog, who thought that one up? I wanna get a little drunk, but I also want some pancakes. You know what eggnog really is. You're not gonna want to hear it, but I'll tell ya. It's elf cum. You might as well pour it down your back and slap your self on the ass.”

make your kids sleep past 8 on christmas morning

I age my egg nog. I make some around Xmas. I use milk cream and eggs from our chickens. Throw in vanilla beans and lots of bourbon (I usually use Wild Turkey 101 or Bulleit) and a bit of rum, usually Mt. Gay or Meyers. Age at least 30 days.

Alcohol kills any germs. Where I live, my garage is cold enough to keep,egg nog at the right temperature. Great part of the holidays. One piece of advice: do not use raw milk, I like the taste of raw milk and drink it when I can but don't use it for egg nog.

milkman of magnesia?

without telling you much, mennoite spoke volumes.

Anyone see or try that egg nog ice cream? Just saw it at Publix. I'll try it closer to Christmas on a self-indulgence day.

I have never even heard of that.

I love Egg Nogg though. If this weird shit tastes anything like it I would love it.

I've never heard of it either.

Eggnog
 

Two-week taste test of the aged eggnog: It's definitely developed and matured. Much mellower on booze since Day 1. Very interested to see how it develops. I think I'll keep one jar to try this time next year.

I bought some of that eggnog icecream at Publix two weeks ago and have already gained 3 lbs. No more egg nog anything for me.

I only had a couple sips, just to see what it tasted like.

YAS!!! The vanilla flavored one is just ****ing incredible.

What is this? Milk Nog? Where can I find this?

Yeah, I'll buy a carton of it, and drink straight from the carton. A sip here, a sip there. You will literally wear how ever much of it you consume.

I like it but in small doses

Okay. I wasn't judging you just so you know. It sounds interesting what you're doing. Learn something new in here regularly.

I haven't had it since the Christmas of 94...

I am very disappointed that your mature palate would tolerate this stuff.

I actually don't like most of it. Only the boozy stuff.

Far prefer great Irish Coffee. Eggnog all sucks. Milk punch is nice but yankees dont get it.

I absolutely love egg nog. It can be a little rich so from time to time I buy that milk nog which is just as good.

Just sampled the eggnog. Wow, it's very smooth, very creamy, and boozy, but the booze has really mellowed. This is damn fine stuff.

About 5 months in the fridge, right?

Made it on 11/29, so about 4.5.

Nothing says welcome to spring and warm weather like a nice glass of thick eggnog. You should try some immediately after mowing the lawn in July/August

It wasn't a full glass. Was just a sample, like 2 tablespoons. I wanted to see how it was coming along. I hadn't tasted it since the 2-month mark.

I like to see how things evolve - it's the same reason I bought like 8 bottles of 2000 vintage port in 2004 and open a bottle ever 2-3 years. It's a lot of fun seeing how things change with time.

Just shy of one year! Daaaamn. Boozy, but smooth. Super creamy, almost a silky mouthfeel.

Is it customary to have this ****ing eggnog thread every goddamned holiday season?

Didn't we figure out the ratio of "nog to no-nog" several harvest cycles ago?

Damn.

^

what's that you got sprinkled on the top, fmb?
looks festive, but i don't think i'd try it.
sec

I would say nutmeg or cinnamon

I'm betting either nutmeg or cinnamon

**** you

Nutmeg.

You're welcome to participate or ignore. Your choice.

I use eggnog instead of cream in my coffee during the holidays. But most of them are made with high fructose corn syrup so I have to read ingredient labels to find the few in the supermarket that don't.
