Yeah, egg nogg good. As a non-usual rum drinker, it's a good excuse to have a rum drink.

How things change! My 2008 post in this thread noted how my passion for egg nog resulted in a seasonal 10 pound gain, which I mostly lost, once 'the precious' became unavailable, in January.
I went low-carb, last year, and lost the 30-odd pounds I'd gained after high school. But I still love egg nog, and it is very high carb, in store-bought form.
So, this year, I have gone the homemade route, but with Splenda (or equivalent). I've learned to pasteurize my own eggs, too. Diabetics and low-carbers, take note:
Low-carb Homemade Egg Nog

I say yey to eggnog.
I do a Christmas Holiday luncheon party for the ladies once a year. Here is the recipe and I know it is just wrong but they all love it and ask for seconds and thirds every time. The calories alone probably will kill you on a good day I'm sure.
Santa Sleigh Cocktail
serves 4 to 6
2 cups eggnog
1/2 cup brandy
1/2 cup Amaretto
1 tsp. ground nutmeg
2 scoops vanilla ice cream
dampen rim of glass with sugar.
use cinnamon sticks for stirring

When it's good it's good. When it's bad it's horrid! I like it wit a couple of tamales hot outta the steamer.
Merry Christmas!

The Devil's White Egg Gnog...
1/3 glass mixture of light, dark and coconut-flavored rum
splash of cinnamon syrup
two splashes of coconut liqueur
1/3 glass store-bought eggnog
1/3 glass crushed ice
mix and quaff
Tried it last night, and later dreamed I was pissing blood. Tasty, though.
