That is almost the exact recipe (at least the proportions of booze to nog) handed down from my great grandmother Otto (last name), really. She specified the type and brand of booze – and I think that really makes a difference. The selection in your pic looks like a good one. My ggm liked 12 oz. Myers rum, 6 oz. of Pikesville Rye, and 6 oz of Martell Brandy.

Over the years we’ve found a local dairy (Lewes) thay makes a seasonal egg nog (sans booze)that is indistiguishable from the home made batch. We’ve since found Sailor Jerry’s Rum to be the best for the nog instead of Meyers, and Maker’s Mark instead of the Rye, and Hennesey or Remy Martin for the brandy. You need a delicious Egg nog base and then good booze makes it a great nog, that’s all there is to it!

I have no clue if different brands make a difference, because I’m not really a “sophisticated” drinker. When we buy liquor, it usually gets the chance to age! But, give me a bottle of dark ale or stout, and it will disappear so fast you will think I’m David Copperfield! Maybe I’ll have to try your ggm’s brands! Then, those bottles of liquor around here might never get the chance to get dust on the bottle. Thanks for sharing!

Imbibing eggnog made with this recipe is like playing Russian roulette. You might dodge the bullet, but why take the risk. There are other ways to enjoy home-made eggnog. Check out this link: http://efoodalert.blogspot.com/2007/12/tis-season-to-drink-eggnog.html

By the way, there’s not enough alcohol in even the most potent eggnog recipe to kill Salmonella!

Well, Phyllis, the recipe uses store bought eggnog, so it’s pasteurized. I’m not following this link, because I’m not sure this isn’t spam!!

Yes I enjoy eggnog. No, I don’t drink very much of it – but yes, I have been known to make it from scratch throughout the year to satisfy cravings (but not for many many years). Thanks for the recipe, I might get to try it this year!!
