What do you like in your egg nog?

Cafe Society

So I grabbed the first carton of the year a little over an hour ago.

I’d never had egg nog with booze before, so the first opportunity my boyfriend and I had to have nog together, he says, “I can’t believe you haven’t had it with brandy yet! That’s classic.”

I know you spike brandy, but I never knew with what. I picked up some brandy and swirled it in and…eh.

The following fall, I put a little Captain Morgan or Mount Gay in and I love the spiced rum flavor with the nutmeg…

My sister-in-law swears by a little Old Forrester Bourbon in it.

So what is traditionally used to spike egg nog?

What is your favorite way to drink it?

2

Straight from the cartoon.

Open it. Pour contents down throat. Sit back and relax.

3

I like it with a little Crown Royal, myself.

Damn, would that be good right now.

4

I’ve never met a nog I didn’t like.

5

Around these parts, it’s rum all the way.

6

Vodka for a little kick and Frangelico for a little taste.

7

Boobs,

Definitely Boobs.

MMMMMMMMMMMMMM, Nog Boobs…:smiley:

8

Rum (wife)
Bourbon (me)

Neither of us thinks brandy has any place in nog.

Brandy doesn’t seem to mix well with it…the rum is perfect. I’d had it with the Old Forester, which was also pretty good. I’m just such a fan of Mt. Gay and Captain in cider is my kryptonite…

Khadaji, I’ll have to try the vodka/Frangelico for kicks…sounds interesting.

Chaco, I’m sure the boob additive will go over well tonight, but I’m the one that’ll have to fend off hungry ants in the middle of the night…

10

Southern Comfort. I got that from my wife. We store it in the freezer, so it doesn’t warm up the egg nog.

11

Rum. Preferably Meyer’s Dark. But Captain Morgan probably would do nicely.

12

When I lived in Key West it was always rum, but nowadays I like it with bourbon. And don’t forget that sprinkling of nutmeg on the top.

13

Not if I’m thorough. :wink:

This way better than waiting for swing states.:stuck_out_tongue:

14

I prefer my egg nog free of Grinch hair, thank you very much.

15

Sorry for the highjack; you guys were talking about add liquor to eggnog.

(Back to breathing in bag and swing states)

::slinks away::

16

Spiced rum, all the way.

Regular dark rum will do in a pinch, like when someone else has polished off the last of the spiced rum and it’s after closing time for the liquor store and you have to have some egg nog NOW… but otherwise, I will not settle for anything except Captain Morgan Spiced Rum.

Nom nom nom (or is that nog nog nog?)

17

Agreed! Take that brandy! I’ll be sure to tell my boyfriend to put that in his egg nog and drink it!

Anyone else use fun liqueurs?

And, don’t get me wrong, I LOVE egg nog neat (I’ve only been of drinking age for 4 years, but have loved nog my whole life)…it’s just that when it’s 5 o’clock somewhere, I’m inclined to spill a dollop of booze or to into it!

18

Any liquor, hold the nog please. I have never developed a taste for it. It’s weird, 'cause I like all the ingredients. Maybe I’ll give it another go this holiday season.

19

Kahlua. It’s wonderful in egg nog.

The Frangelico sounds good. I’ll have to try that this year.

20

I detest liquor of any sort in nog. Love nog straight. I even like soy nog. But straight.

I make chocolate nog that is to die for, and while again I love it straight, if someone wants liquor in it, Kahlua works best.
