I dont do it every Christmas but given the weather it seemed like picking up a jug of egg nog at the store yesterday was the right thing to do. I normally warm it up, mix in a shot of Captain Morgan and sprinkle with cinnamon and nutmeg.
Anyone else have favorite egg nog mixers/cocktail recipes? Thinking I might try Bourbon this year.

This my Friend, is awesome.
However they have a way of sneaking up on ya.
I’ve always mixed it with Blackberry Brandy.
Will be having them all through the holidays.
I like Tom and Jerry’s too but those hot drinks really pack a whollop sometimes!

Bourbon for the Eggnog.
Tom & Jerrys are a snap.
Beat a dozen egg yolks, a smidge of salt, about two tablespoons of baking soda and a two pound package of powdered sugar together very well. The longer you beat it the lighter in color and stiffer it’ll get. I beat mine about ten minutes with an electric mixer. Add some good quality vanilla, maybe a tablespoon, and mix yet until it’s completely blended in. Pour into a covered tupperware and freeze until very firm. NOTE: it will never freeze super solid.
Using large mugs add a shot each of dark rum and brandy or bourbon then two ice-cream scoops of the frozen batter to each mug and fill with very hot water. Top with a sprinkle of nutmeg, not a lot.
As Haleysgold has suggested, they pack a punch.
I like Brandy in my Nog.

We always go with Rum in our egg nog.
My go to with a heavy splash of crown royal mixed in for good measure!

I’m a Tom & Jerry guy–family tradition. Rum + brandy will warm you right up. 
I did make homemade eggnog years ago and remember it being good. My sis said she’s making a batch for Christmas.

I go heavy on the nutmeg!
Turkey let me introduce you to Nog!

ohhh that looks delicious EPG!
It is easy just to pick up the alcoholic versions at the liquor store. They usually do a pretty good job. After the holidays, nothing beats some baileys or RumChata while watching a movie on a cold night by the fire. Love the smooth, cream liquors.
