ScoutTN Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 We got some really good eggnog from a local dairy. Now I need to know how to serve it?! I couldn't eat eggs as a kid, so I never had it growing up. We're having neighbors over for a Christmas block party and I want to serve eggnog (along with spiced cider and some cold drinks).

Mrs Mungo Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Usually bourbon. But, bourbon gives me a headache, so I put rum or vanilla vodka in mine. This MS recipe uses bourbon, dark rum and cognac: http://www.marthastewart.com/334357/eggnog Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plain jane Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 I usually use rum. Sometimes, however, I skip the eggnog. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HRAAB Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 First choice - rum. I really like rum. If not that, bourbon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktgrok Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 My parents use spiced rum, and that is probably the most popular option of people I know. But I prefer whiskey or bourbon or brandy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSOchristie Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I usually use rum. Sometimes, however, I skip the eggnog. ;) The first, but mostly the second ;). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ailysh Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Whiskey. My favorite recipe comes from Emeril Lagasse. I don't have the link but it would be easy enough to Google. I hated egg nog until this recipe converted me. :-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I'm a whiskey girl, but for parties I serve it with rum. I think rum is more accessible, as far as taste is concerned, and it seems to go over better. But Santa and I prefer Jameson with ours.

theYoungerMrsWarde Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 I got brandy because I thought that's what you're supposed to use in it. But it's so bitter! And, it makes me sleepy and muddles my head so I can't stand up straight or type straight. (I drunk facebooked. Thankfully, you can barely understand it.) Is Whipped Cream Vodka sweet? My sister says vodka affects her differently than brandy, and brandy does the same to her so I was thinking of trying the Whipped Cream Vodka next....

I like the vanilla vodka better than the whipped cream vodka, personally. But I haven't tried it in eggnog. Like I said, I like to use clear rum (not dark or spiced rum).

Truscifi Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Rum. I would use blackstrap rum, but mainly just because I think it is the tastiest rum I've ever had. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
