Eggnog and __________________???

[Shine]

Hey, what else can one mix with eggnog, besides rum? ...and have it taste decent?

:shrug:

Anyone?

[Loonman]

1. Depends what your meaning of decent is

I use brandy.

[Shine]

3. any particular kind or flavor?

I'm not a big drinker, as you can tell....
:)

[Loonman]

8. Just think of what goes well with the eggnog flavor

Whiskys like Maker's Mark have a vanilla-like finish, which works. Just plain' ol' brandy is fine, not the flavored kind.

If the liquor store person is knowledgeable, you can ask them.

13. Thanks, buddy.

:hi:

[CarpeDiebold]

2. whiskey, brandy or rum

[Shine]

5. Hmmm...whiskey. Hadn't heard that one before.

any particular faves and/or flavors?

Enquiring minds want to know...

:hi:

4. I saw Martha Stewart make some Eggnog on the Today Show...

She put like 3 different types of liquor in it. I think rum, Bourbon and brandy if I recall correctly. Check out her website or the Today Show's, it looked like some strong tasty stuff

[Shine]

9. Thanks, I'll check that out. Sounds yummy....

but I don't have that much booze in the house, besides rum. 3 different types of liquor??! Wow, sounds strong, indeed. :thumbsup:

I'm not a big drinker, obviously, is bourbon the same thing as whiskey? :shrug:

[Reverend_Smitty]

12. They are basically the same

Bourbon is just American made whiskey

[Shine]

Oh. Duh.

news to me!
:)

6. I have never had eggnog. ever.

It's true.

[Shine]

10. It's not for everyone. Pretty rich stuff, but with some "spirits" it can

be yummy.
:thumbsup:

How's the back? Hope you're doing better, my dear.
:pals:

[LaraMN]

16. The back's pretty dandy! Apparently I'm not as decrepit as I feared.

I'm not touchin' eggnog, because it looks like something I shouldn't consume anyway, so I prefer to not develop a liking for it. If only I had never developed a liking for amaretto truffles...

[Shine]

17. Good, happy to hear it. Lara.

Yeah, I only occasionally drink eggnog around the holidays, but thought this year it might be fun to spice it up a bit with some booze.

mmm...amaretto truffles...sounds heavenly!

Best to you and yours,
Shine
:hi:

[LaraMN]

21. Oh, I'll do the booze! I can handle some of that!

and yep...the truffles are divine! My hubby brought me a couple the other day and I still have one of them left...I only eat a quarter of one at a time, and I just let it sit on my tongue and melt in my mouth...heavenly!

7. Eggnog and Whipped Cream!

I love eggnog without booze.

[Shine]

11. Mmmmm...sounds nice and lo-cal.

NOT! :evilgrin:

Screw it, it's the holidays!

:hi:

[In_The_Wind]

20. I gave up on lo-cal.

I'm too hedonistic to deprive myself.

[Shine]

22. Good for you.

my kinda gal...

I can totally relate, girlfriend.
:loveya:

[In_The_Wind]

24. I think it's time to enjoy whatever I want.

As long as I'm not hurting anyone doing it.

[Shine]

27. Yup, you're a wise woman.

:)

15. LOL.

[MsUSA]

18. Is eggnog the same as tom & jerry's??? They're both creamy.

and only get popular around the holidays. I like 'em both. :)

[Shine]

19. Did you mean Ben and Jerry's?

;) or, are you thinking of Hot Buttered Toddies?? Those are yummy, too, this time o' year...

I don't think I've heard of Tom and Jerry's, seriously. :shrug:

[MsUSA]

23. Yeah, they're called Tom & Jerry's........actually I'm meeting

friends after work for some. I found this searching on google:

TOM AND JERRY BATTER

12 eggs, separated
1/2 tsp. salt
1 lb. butter, at room temperature
3 lb. powdered sugar
1 tsp. vanilla, rum, or brandy flavoring
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. allspice

Beat egg whites until stiff; add salt. Beat egg yolks until light. Cream butter and powdered sugar; mix until crumbly. Add egg yolks and vanilla; mix well. Add spices. Add egg whites; beat until well blended. Will keep several weeks in refrigerator. May be frozen, if covered. Use 1 heaping tablespoon of batter for each Tom and Jerry.

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm, they are very, very good.....can only have 2 at the most though.

[Shine]

26. Jeez, ONE POUND of butter??!

Dang. Sounds positively rich and delicious.

Thanks for the recipe!
:hi:

25. Bailey's Irish Cream

I didn't know people even mixed it with rum until after years of mixing it with Bailey's.

[Shine]

28. Hmmmm...I love that stuff.

I usually mix it with coffee, for an after-dinner thang.

Yummy.
:hi:

[MsUSA]

29. Oh yeah, I love that Bailey's too........all Irish ya know.
