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.
