Revised 'Nog Recipe

If you came to the blogg (intentional sp.) for the eggnog recipe a few days ago, you'll notice I revised the amount of rum.

You see - we whipped up a batch last night. And, as you have read, one must adjust to taste. I was mainly referring to nutmeg, but we all decided what was missing was more rum.

Funny thing though, with each successive batch what we ended up adjusting changed. First it was more rum. Then it was more brandy. Next it needed more half and half. Followed by more powdered sugar. Anyone notice a trend here?

Anyway, in the end just use more rum.

Here's more eggnog stuff.

First one is from Salon.com: History of Eggnog

That's all for now.

Eggnog Recipe

Yes the eggnog recipe will now be posted.

You've been very patient. All good things, etc., etc., etc.

  • half gallon of eggnog
  • 1 quart Half & Half
  • 1 package Dream Whip
  • half cup powdered sugar
  • 12 ounces Bacardi Rum
  • 4 ounces Christian Bros. Brandy
  • Nutmeg

Stir it all together in a great big bowl. We use a funnel to pour it back into the original eggnog container.

As with all recipes, you need to adjust to taste. Especially that Nutmeg part.

Be careful. This bad boy is filling.

Throw me some feedback, will ya?
