Do You Like Eggnog?

[geminibear]

I love good eggnog (shocking ), but I am often surprised by how many people don't like eggnog.

I've only bought egg nog but can't anymore cause its made with high fructose corn syrup.

I drink it like my Scotch...straight from the bottle.

I like egg nog but rarely drink it any more due to the high calorie content. It's a cumbersome beverage to make, but tastes so much better than the HFC garbage in the stores.

Smart to stay away from anything with high fructose corn syrup. There is a very detailed study on corn syrup.... I didn't understand a lot of it.... got into the chemistry of it and how it effects your body.... but if you read the study, you will never have HFCS ever again.

I think... not sure... Trader Joes, Whole Foods, markets like that will have eggnog made with sugar.

Although don't get me started with sugar... hahaha

Egg nog, vanillia, cinnamon, I like to add a shot of whiskey as well, Crown Royal!!!! Sometimes, if I'm in a good mood I'll warm it up just a bit! So much better. Just don't make it hot, then it's fucking gross.

I want Sunny von Bülow's recipe. :eek:Anything that could set that high-tolerance package a-tottering in her heels...

It's also great in coffee in lieu of half and half, or as a latte. And I'd add nutmeg to (or instead of) the vanilla/cinnamon. All good.

 

In terms of adding a bit of "spike" I like rum over whiskey. I've also tried it with a bit of Grand Marnier or Curacao - very yummy.

I'm not a fan of it mixed with coffee/espresso so much. I will tolerate it but won't go running for it.

It's great mixed with amaretto.

I don't care much for eggnog either, but I do sip some rompope during the holidays. Rompope is a Latin American drink ( a version of eggnog) made with milk, sugar, vanilla, orange peel, egg yolks, condensed milk, cream and aguardiente or rum. If anyone wants the full recipe check it out @ laylita.com

I like eggnog. I like fruitcake (Claxton). And I like pumpkin spice fudge.

Love it, but I really moderate my intake. I usually make fruitcake - didn't this year, too busy. I like nothing better than a slice of my fruitcake with a few swallows of egg nog.

There is a dirty innuendo in there somewhere, just to busy making eggnog to sort it out.

Love egg nog but only on Christmas Eve. Don't think I could take that much sweet on a more frequent basis. And as if it's not sweet enough, I love it with Southern Comfort.

( pinching my nose). Boy, little Mary in the background looks like she just got the raw end of the deal!

Cold, with rum and nutmeg. Does anyone else call this "having Tom and Jerry"? That's what it was called in my London Cockney grandmother's holiday household. I always wondered if the eggnog was Tom and the rum was Jerry.

Such a small world, Glennnn. My dad loved his T&J in a white coffee mug. He swore he learned how to make it after spending time in the Midwest and that the recipe went back to the 1800s by some guy who was known a Jerry Thomas. Shrug!

Thanks
