I was a solid 'Nay' until a friend suggested I add a tablespoon of orange juice to the egg nog - it turned this nay-sayer into a believer.

I don't know what it is, but I can't find the right combination of eggnog and alcohol to please my palate. I like both individually, but when I try them together, it just doesn't seem right. A few days ago I tried some Appleton's in egg-nog. Didn't do it for me. So, I then tried some Smith & Cross. Still didn't do it. Maybe I was just hardwired as a youngster to like egg-nog by itself. Not sure. I'll try some of the suggestions here and see if I come up with something I like. It's certainly a worthy experiment.

Best use for eggnogg,
dip bread in it for making french toast.

French toast sounds fantastic. I've been wanting to make some holiday french toast using slices of Panettone. Using eggnog is brilliant, though. Maybe I'll combine the two. Hmmmm....

As much as I love rum, I often prefer bourbon in my egg nog. I also sometimes drink the egg nog plain, with a sipping-shot of rum or bourbon on the side.
