clicky: egg nog

[Deleted]

[georgeharrison]

I really like it, but I find that I just don't drink it that often. Last year I didn't even get an egg nog latte because of the calories. I did get a giant one on my crappy birthday, though, and at that point, it was the highlight of my day.

I usually will buy a half gallon close to Christmas and drink most of it before it goes bad, but that's it.

With rum is yum.

[picksthemusic]

There are several ways I like it. With Sprite (which is surprisingly good - DH introduced me to that one), with brandy (my favorite), or with Southern Comfort. Mmmmm.

Either that or plain.

But it has to be the good stuff. Homemade is even better.

i clicked "nope, not under any circumstance"...but it's really closer to "i really don't like it. a lot. i think it's gross, but i'll have a sip or two to make people happy around the holidays".

[fiddles]

Mmm I love me some egg nog. I'm the only one in our house that likes it so more for me!

This is pretty much how I feel too. I REALLY don't like it. WAY too sweet. But if someone makes it I will have a few sips to be polite.

Not too sweet if it's 1/2 liquor 1/2 eggnog or 1/2 7-up/Sprite 1/2 eggnog, or 1/2 coffee 1/2 eggnog. Or try 3/4 other 1/4 eggnog.

You're talking to a girl who thinks vodka cranberry or gin & tonics are too sweet. My drink of choice is vodka soda, flavored by only a squeeze of lime.

I did SS.....Last year I tried this Organic Eggnog with natural ingredients and it was sooooo delicious. I couldn't get enough of it. But prior to trying that, I hated eggnog.....

Love it, but for a short while. Love it w/ coffee or chai, rum and we also mix it w/ 7-up. Seriously, try it w/ 7-up! So good! By itself, not so much.

Ooh never tried it with. 7-up. I bet that mixture would be good with whiskey too which is usually how I drink it

I like it, but never finish a quart by myself and H hates it. I usually buy the lowfat (which means I can't buy organic because I haven't found them making that version) because regular was too thick for my dairy sensitivity. This will be the first year I can't even have any! I did see the Silk brand UWHusky posted and I'm tempted...but I would still be the only one drinking it so it's not worth the higher cost.

MM...I do like egg nog ice cream a lot though!

[Deleted]

I'll drink it if its available. I don't normally go out in search of it. My h normally keeps a quart in the fridge though as he loves the stuff. I only drink the full fat version because I find that light tastes awful to me. I don't drink enough f it to really care about the calorie count.

[sarack]

it makes me want to vomit.

Ik, I'm the only one that drinks egg nogg and I could finish an entire thing of the silk nogg myself. Its way lighter tasting than real nogg. Its really good. Id recommend it and I'm buying it again!

[BlackCanary]

Never have tried it.

I'll keep an eye out for a Silk coupon then

I'm having a glass right now

From my phone yo!

I'm so glad to hear that other people cut their eggnog with 7-Up. DH thought I was nuts when I did that. I introduced his BIL to it and he likes it too. DH's family cuts it with milk. Blech!

[Deleted]

I like straight nog. I don't cut it with anything. It's gross to me with anything other than rum cutting it.

Any recommendations for an Eggnog that already comes with liquor? I was at Safeway yesterday and I saw a bottle but was hesitant to get it...

That would scare me.

+1. Tbh . The eggnog that comes in as certain is dinner. It's not as good as home made, but it's perfectly serviceable. Pour some rum or whiskey in it and call it a day.
