Nothing crazy…. I think that Feliciana’s Best milk products help the most.

Use Louisiana cane sugar, expensive eggs and good booze.

Second batch just went into the fridge. This one had brown sugar and cane syrup as the sweeteners.

Will try some this year. Is there a premade Egg Nog that is good in a pinch?

that Jamaican rum which AB calls for is actually pretty important to the final flavor profile.

Does he call for a certain one? Recipe page now just says “Jamaican rum”

Anyone tried it with Rye for the bourbon?

Just use a dark or aged rum. Have used rye. There is so much heavy cream and sugar pretty much masks any intricacies of the alcohol.

With that said put up a batch last weekend of regular but may make a batch with that peanut butter whiskey. Someone gave me a bottle and have never figured out what to do with it. Last night while eating a Reese’s peanut butter cup, I thought “maybe that would work in eggnog”

I was just short of 1lb for the actual granulated brown sugar. So I just threw in a tablespoon or two of the cane syrup.

I will say make sure you dissolve your sugar in the eggs and dairy prior to adding the alcohol.

Made 2 batches last night. Used Elijah Craig, Smith & Cross Jamaica rum, and VSOP single estate cognac. Will probably make 2 more batches this week, because it is that good. Hopefully, my wife and I can make it to Thanksgiving before pouring a drink.

Yes. (5) 750 ml bottles and there's (3) 32 oz mason jars. Approximately 6.5L total. I spilled a little trying to get it in a funnel for the bottles.

Update

Made the peanut butter whiskey nog. Didn’t taste it yet but smell is incredible. Proustian moment of being a kid and having a peanut butter and honey sandwich with big glass of Cold milk. Will update in a few weeks with taste/flavor.

Not gonna lie, I've been salivating every time i open the beer fridge lately. A few more weeks and it'll be time to break out the egg nog. Made this year's batch July 4th week. I also have the "special reserve" bottle from last year for Christmas day.

I may go ahead make some more in January since I'll have the space and that way, the entire batch will have aged for almost a year.

i gave away all mine at thanksgiving

don't care, family was here and i got a little carried away; gave away all my trash (had made 6 batches in a massive tub and thought it would last forever) and everyone got a nog on the way out.

i hope they are enjoying them as much as i would have.

time to fire up a double-batch in january and repurpose a few bourbon bottles

I cracked open a leftover quart from last year over Thanksgiving. It was delicious!

I’m holding strong onto last years bottles.

Heading up to a buddy’s hunting camp in Arky next weekend. That’ll be where the first one or two from last year get cracked open.

I need to get rid of a few from this years batches to friends.
