Egg Nog

What flavor IS egg nog anyway? Are you people drinking .... eggs? Or is it just whipped egg whites so more cream-ish?

Eggnog, or egg nog, is a sweetened dairy based beverage traditionally made with milk and/or cream, sugar, and whipped eggs (which gives it a frothy texture).

There's usually spices added, a lot of the time nutmeg and vanilla.

I've never ever had eggnog as a drink before. There's just never really been an opportunity where it was like, "Oh look, eggnog, I should have some." But I did have eggnog ice cream the other day and disliked it. I do like eggs though. And nog sounds like something I would like too.

Reporting back! I had egg nog last night! First I had just regular egg nog and it was delicious! It tasted like a melted milkshake!

Then I had pumpkin spiced egg nog with brandy in it. <3 <3 <3 <3 I'm never turning down alcoholic egg nog again!

Agreed, but that pretty much goes for alcoholic anything, in my mind.

All you need to do to store bought carton eggnog is get a microplane grater and shave a little bit of nutmeg on top when you pour your cup. Delicious stuff. Rich as heck though, so stick to relatively small glasses.:D

I tried chocolate eggnog a few weeks ago. Did not like.

Never tried it, but I cannot imagine it tasting good.

Guys, normally I wouldn't support McDonalds in any way shape or form because the food makes me sick, but they have an Egg Nog Shake that is actually pretty delicious. For serious.

I haven't had any eggnog this year :( I bought a carton full and it was entirely gone when I went to have some a short while later!

I've never tried egg nog. I can't bring myself to try it. Raw eggs :(
