A Holiday Question

[kitzbuel]

As the Holidays approach, I am confronted with one of the most burning questions faced during this season; what do I mix eggnog with?

I have done some extensive research into this, at least five minutes on Google, and have not really found an adequate answer. I realized then that the best set of experts are assembled here.

So I posit the question; what should you mix with eggnog?

[Martin Centre Mad Man]

Skip the eggnog. Drink the bourbon.

[kitzbuel]

That is my general approach for both bourbon and cognac which pretty much leaves rum.

[tummydoc]

Alton Brown's recipe calls for spiced rum, bourbon, AND brandy/cognac!

[Jazzgirl_127]

My husband usually uses spiced rum, but if we don't have it, bourbon. We make sure we always have bourbon.

There's some wisdom here. . .

My old man was a brandy guy. Brandy & 7 was his "go to." He introduced me to brandy-laced egg nog. I've never looked back ( though I have to confess, I don't do egg nog every year )

I made a mess, almost ruined a shirt. I tried egg nog with cowbell and it ran out everywhere.

My dad would mix it with 7UP when I was a kid which seems weird now that I think about it.

To answer your question, I think I would add bourbon.

Merry Christmas! Pass the egg nog

Merry Christmas, Reno.

Looks like you mix your Jack Daniels with Shasta cola

Never ! That Shasta cola was used to soak some crud off a second hand BeCu set of Ping irons.
