Store bought eggnog = NAY!
Homemade with plenty of booze = YAY!
I make it every year using a different recipe each year (usually from the 1940s Esquire Drink Book).

Ok, allow me to contribute...
I love eggnog, but a couple sips and I've got a wicked wicked migrane. So, since I can no longer use my secret recipe, I thought I'd share it with you all:
12 Egg Yolks
1 3/4 c. Sugar
2 Qts. Heavy Cream
2 tsp. Cinnamon (Ground)
2 tsp. Nutmeg (Ground)
2 tsp. Cloves (Ground)
1 C. Rum - Use a favortie, I personally prefer any Demerera (151 for the bold)
1 oz. Congac
Combine ingredients and refrigerate. Served with fresh ground nutmeg on top.
(of course, this isn't a pic of the recipe, this is that Soy junk)
Happy Holidays!

Can we somehow merge the eggnog thread with the Beatles thread?

EGGNOG THEN:
I grew up in a household that didn't drink (yawn). BUT I had this Aunt (doesn't everyone?) that liked to spice things up. I remember getting to taste Eggnog and McNaughton's as a kid.
EGGNOG NOW:
I tried some recently and it's best in very limited quntities...say a shot glass full. I also currently have it in chocolate form. Yes, chocolate. I still have two packages left (as shown) and will send one to anyone who can convince me they need to try it (you will have to give me your address which means that at any given moment in time I could show up at your door as well...keep that in mind). I expect no takers on the Eggnog chocolate...

While this topic was well discussed last year I was in a bar last night where a very bloody and destructive fight boke out. There was some confusion as to what was the cause, but as the cops were puttin' the cuffs on me I told 'em how a lil discussion on egg nog kinda got outta hand.
Clearly the cotroversy rages on.

This year I made a batch from a recipe on CHOW.com that calls for aging the eggnog in the fridge for a minimum of 3 weeks up to one year. This recipe was also recently mentioned on NPR. My batch will be 3 weeks old on Christmas eve. If I survive drinking it I'll report back here on how it tasted!

Yuck....Made from liquid chickens and mammal secretions.This stuff needs lots of alcohol in it just to make it safe to drink but still can't even tolerate the thought of it at all.

Egg Nog - delicious HOT...disgusting COLD! If you ever drink enough nog mixed w/ Southern Comfort to get really, really gut wrenchingly sick, you will never want to drink it again.
