Store bough eggnog is not great. Make your own:

Aged Eggnog

12 eggs
1 1/2 cups sugar
pinch of salt
1 1/2 cups of bourbon (Buffalo Trace)
1/2 cup of cognac (Hennessy)
1/3 cup of dark rum (Kraken)
1/4 ts fresh nutmeg

1 cup heavy cream
3 cups whole milk
fresh nutmeg

Add 12 egg yolks into a 2 cup measuring bowl. Add whites until 1 2/3 cups of egg is reached. (Reserve remaining whites for another use.) Pour eggs into mixer and beat on medium speed until pale. Slowly sprinkle in 1 1/2 cups of sugar. Add a pinch of salt.

Combine 1 1/2 cups of bourbon, 1/2 cup of cognac, and 1/3 cup of dark rum. Slowly drizzle alcohol into mixer on low speed.

Strain into glass container (1.75mL bottle will be more than enough) and add 1/4 ts of fresh nutmeg. Screw on cap and invert bottle to distribute the nutmeg. Cover bottle with foil to block light. Store for a minimum of 3 weeks in the refrigerator, ideally 3 months or more.

When it’s time to serve, whisk 1 cup of heavy cream to soft peaks in serving bowl. Whisk in 3 cups of whole milk and then the aged egg solution. Ladle into cups and garnish with freshly grated nutmeg.

Yield: 70oz at 11.65% ABV

For me, it's Halloween flavor

Has anyone ever found this shit in the UK? Always wanted to try it

It's delicious. You should have never given up the colonies, mate!

This is going to be the boring answer, but DESU most commercially-available eggnog is almost identical. I'm not such a connoisseur that I demand a specific blend of spices or richness or thickness, and so it's pretty easy to pick up a liter or two throughout the holidays and make it something serviceable.

About the only thing I do is to pour it into a smaller 6-8oz glass and add a dusting of cinnamon and a dusting of nutmeg and then consume. I don't care for alcoholic eggnog.

Do bongs really not have egg nog? It seems like something they'd create.

Eggs have been illegal in the UK ever since a troubled teen discovered that broken shell fragments can be used as makeshift knives. He managed to kill eleven SAS members before the regiment's paperwork for their temporary knife license was approved, at which time England's One and Only Legal Knife was retrieved from their queen's kitchen drawer--it's an Oxo Goodgrips cheese knife, I think--and the lad was speedily apprehended. Although an emergency session of Parliament outlawed eggs within 48 hours of the incident, it took the bobbies weeks to round up the country's remaining supply, even with all of those posters they put up: "It's not a joke--bin that yolk!"

thanks, squatch

Imagine being this triggered by a little hair

I'll be drinking cider until Thanksgiving, then I'll be noggin' with the boys. Alton Brown's recipe is worth trying at least once, pretty different.

If you want to have aged eggnog for Christmas, the time to start is NOW. You have been warned, heed my words or taste bitter regret when I smugly post my stash in a few months.

>>16861606
thanksgiving already happened though anon, time for NOG

>>16859147
>>brandy, whiskey, vodka, or virgin?
people put alcohol in it?

I have 1.125 liters of eggnog in my refrigerator which I made on September 7th

fucking canadians i swear to fucking god

>>16860560
It used to be good, nigger

Why isn't eggnog sold year-round?

>>16862863
The same reason that the McRib isn't sold year-round. The Jews.

>>16862863
It's just not the kind of drink people want to have around constantly. Other than tradition, it's very rich and very sweet, even around the holidays most people drink it relatively sparingly, so it makes sense for it to only be around for a couple months each year.

does this shit count as nog?

>>16864184
>red velvet milk

>>16864184
no it counts as shit

>>16864184
No, that's just dumb flavored milk. Egg nog is an egg and cream drink.

>>16864353
Eggnog is egg and nog

>1.75mL bottle will be more than enough

I buy eggnog, jazz it up to my liking, and add bourbon, rum, and brandy. Santa's gettin' shitfaced.

>>16859147
Based thread. Hello eggnog enthusiasts.

>>16859147
What is the thickest eggnog store brand

I want to drink a whole container of it. Is it southern comfort? I just want the most decadent one possible.

>>16866964
Just make your own ffs

>>16866976
Some store bought kinds are pretty good. Like if you’ve got a good dairy that distributes near you there’s a good chance their nog is going to to bang on
But a lot of commercially available eggnogs are disgusting in both taste and texture

>>16859147
Cookbros should I buy nog or make it myself?

>>16868640
COOKBRO you were thinking of nog too?

>>16868646
