Any Other Fans of the Nog?

[Guyon]

I think I'm becoming slightly addicted to egg nog & bourbon or egg nog & whiskey. I just knocked back a couple and am thinking of a third. At 8 grams of fat per serving, I may have to break out the stretchy pants for January.

im a fan. i would probably use rum instead of whisky.

i might be the only non-scotch/whiskey drinker in this room

 

[tomthebaker]

I can hear your arteries hardening all the way over here in Tulsa!

Besides, isn't it more of a rum drink?

For Gawds sake stop ruining good bourbon,,,,, str8 up an NO stretchies ,,,,,,,,,, roflmao

I enjoy a glass or two. I'd mix it with heavy whipping cream, instead of bourbon.

Ever since that Margarita recipe was posted here, I have had nothing else, LOL.
Well, not entirely true, it's red wine ATM (Cantina Zaccagnini).

I do like egg nog though, but I had this weird allergic reaction once where my skin went red and I had a hard time breathing. No egg drinks since then (the drink that caused it was a snowball).

Not according to Alton Brown.

And be careful before you knock Alton Brown. Be very careful.

That's probably the sodium benzoate, or some similar preservative. I have an allergy too. It's also in a lot of dried fruit products.

Watch out for "fresh" salsa's in the refrigerated section, they have a ton of it.

With bourbon, it sure has some similarities, now that you mention it.

OK, but Alton doesn't buy "artificially flavored" stuff in a carton (at least when anyone is looking).

It's better this way. My fear is that I'll continue to make it even when the seasonal offerings disappear from the local market.

It's no accident I had the Alton Brown recipe on hand.

Fan of the 'Nog here... Had 2 already... Loaded with a bit (more like a crap load) of the Captain (out of Bourbon which I prefer). Yes a third is a splendid idea!!

:thumbup:

 

[azshaman]

No nog here tonight but yep, I'm a fan. My family's recipe is a lot like Alton's, but we always used brandy instead of bourbon or rum. Yummy!

Did her "kitchen" look something like this?

 

[gundy]

Yes! But she never had a night watchman...

 

[tomthebaker]

Is that a shot of your back yard?

 

[Guyon]

Absolutely not.
