EmotionDetector Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Christmas Time usually means the Egg Nog is on the store shelves. I'm sure it's a drink that's very 'hit or miss' with people. So, does Egg Nog do it for you? If so, how do you like it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost In Xanadu Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Homemade is the best, but I almost never do that anymore. What is great is take some egg nog ice cream (frozen custard if you dare) and melt it down with a little milk and brandy. There is a great holiday drink. We usually buy a couple half gallons over the next couple months, but that's it for me. I love the flavor, hate the heart attack around the corner.

Thanks for that, EmotionDetector. I should've added that I had heard of it, but never seen it, certainly not in our supermarkets (not even at Christmas time), and certainly never tried it. If I ever do get to buy one, I'll let you know what it was like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CMWriter Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 "Meh". I think it's okay. I'll have an 8 oz. glass around Christmas maybe a couple times, but any more than that I get sick of it. Only a little at a time for me, haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Babycat Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 I just asked someone if she knew anything about it and she said she'd heard of it, but she didn't seem to think it could be bought. She did suggest an alternative - 'Avocar' or something like it (like avocado), but only served in a pub - all frothed up with a cherry on top and called 'Snowball'.

Janie Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Starbucks has an eggnog latte and I can't imagine the level of gross this is. Mixing eggnog with coffee? Just seems wrong. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrandDesigner Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Eggnog is amazing. I'll drink it both plain, and with rum or whiskey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Queen of Megadon Posted November 30, 2011 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Love the stuff! It is a holiday requirement with or without booze! (though with is preferable) My brother and I go so goofy over it at this time of year that we will often, at random, send a text or email that simply reads "nog" love it love it love it. The stuff in the can, Borden brand...and only that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
