Dude kahluah isn't a chick drink! Well not what I call it anyway. I guess it's better to call it Polish Kahlua. It's melted chocolate and vodka served hot. That'll put hair on your balls.

I like my own homemade egg nog. It's got enough alcohol in it that you won't care if there is hair on your balls or any other body part.

I don't like the glop you buy in quarts at the grocery stores that masquerades as egg nog. Though I may have to give the Silk-Nog a try since figmentPez says it's got a lighter texture.

A man walks into a bar and orders a glass of Polish vodka. As the bartender slides the drink to the patron, a man sitting next to him remarks, "That's a coincidence, I, too, am enjoying a Polish vodka. Since

I arrived from the old country, this is the only bar in which I have found it."

To which the first replies, "Old country, I'm from the old country. Let me buy you another!"

As the drinks are being poured, one of the men asks, "What part of the old country are you from?"

"Krakow," replies the other. "This is weird," says the first, "I, too, am from Krakow! Let's get another shot."

After the new round arrives, the first asks, "So, pal, what did you do back in Krakow?'

"Not much, really, I came here right out of high school. I graduated from Lech Walesa Technical Academy in '81."

"This is eerie," replies the other, "I'm Welesa Tech, '81. Let's get another shot." But the bartender says, "Slow down fellas, I gotta make a call."

The bartender calls his wife and tells her that he'll be late getting home. When she inquires as to the cause, he replies, "Oh, the friggin' Liszjewski twins are here again."

Eggnog is motherfucking divine. Good eggnog, at least. I like to make my own and jack it up with some medium-quality Kentucky bourbon (since mixing the good stuff is just wrong).

I also make some killer eggnog ice cream and made a pretty fine eggnog custard pie one year.

I too have been known to imbibe the occasional nog, also the Silk variety, and typically enhanced with either a cheap whiskey or a good rum. I find it invigorating and bracing during the cold, harsh holiday season.

In other words, FUCK YEAH! EGGNOG!

My supply of eggnog has been replenished! Stand down from Defcon 2!

The only good thing about the official "holiday season" retail season starting the day after Halloween is that it means that Eggnog shows up in stores. Also, I like mine with a little bit of sherry, I've found the nuttiness of the sherry to really set off the nutmeg of the nog quite nicely.

I'll stick to Whiskey, thank you. Whenever I drink Egg Nogg, I feel like I'm downing cake batter.

I bought some eggnog yesterday. I had a small glass. Then my son came out & demolished the rest. His paycheck is buying us more.

So worth it.

I like the Eggnog, but only drink it twice in a night around Xmas. If I want anything after 2, I'll drink the Bourbon and leave the nog in the carton.

Anyone have any extra 'nog tips or secrets? (In making it)

I am an Eggnog newb, I once had it like two years ago and it was a crappy store brand so I had disdain for it like an angry god. Does anyone know any good eggnog brands? I can't find that Trader Joe's stuff anywhere here in Florida for some reason.

Side note: Not old enough to drink so unfortunately as fun as rum based eggnog sounds can't do it.

Trader Joe's is fantastic. I'd do more shopping there but it can get kinda pricey.

Really? I think most of their prices are comparable to larger local chains. They have better prices for milk and eggs than the larger grocery stores near me. I guess it depends on what you're buying.

I made a double batch of this recipe last night - with some modifications. It is heavenly. Thick, but not overly heavy like most store bought nog, good flavor that's a little easy-going, and not too sweet. The recipe is from Elise over at Simply Recipes.

Eggnog Recipe

INGREDIENTS

4 egg yolks
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups milk
2 whole cloves - I used a scant teaspoon of ground cloves for my double batch, so that would be a scant half teaspoon for a single batch. Be careful, clove can easily overpower everything else.
Pinch of cinnamon - I substituted ground ginger for the cinnamon.
1 cup cream
1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 Tbsp each of bourbon and rum or brandy, or to taste (can omit for kid-friendly eggnog)
*4 egg whites (optional)

METHOD

1 In a large bowl, beat egg yolks until they become lighter in color (can whisk by hand or use a mixer for this). Slowly beat in the sugar, whisking until fluffy.

2 Combine the milk, cinnamon, and cloves in a thick-bottomed saucepan. Slowly heat mixture on medium heat until it is steaming hot, but not boiling. - I added the nutmeg here, instead of waiting until the end. If you do this, don't add it at the end as well, you'll have way too much nutmeg.

3 Temper the eggs by slowly adding half of the hot milk mixture into the eggs, whisking constantly while you add the hot mixture. Pour the mixture back into the saucepan.

4 Cook on medium heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until it begins to thicken slightly, and coats the back of the spoon. It helps to have a candy thermometer, but not necessary; if you have one, cook until the mixture reaches 160°F. Do not allow the mixture to boil, or it will curdle. (If the mixture does curdle you may be able to save it by running it through a blender.)

5 Remove from heat and stir in the cream. Strain the mixture through a mesh strainer to remove the cloves. Let cool for one hour. - If you used ground cloves, you don't need to strain the nog, but may want to to get any possible egg lumps out, in case you had problems with the egg tempering step or heated the combined mixture too high and curdled it.

6 Mix in vanilla extract, nutmeg, and bourbon/rum and brandy (feel free to omit for kid-friendly eggnog). Chill.

Optional: Beat egg whites until they reach soft peaks. Add a teaspoon of sugar and continue to beat until they reach stiff peaks. Gently fold into eggnog.
Makes 1 quart. Serves 4-6.

I also omitted the liquor, but like to add just a touch of sherry to my glass, the nuttiness of the sherry goes well with the nutmeg.

I'm throwin a little nutmeg and cinnamon into this Penn. Dutch the fellow has.

Apologies ahead, but can anyone tell me just what is Eggnog?

It's a nog that has egg in it.

Eggnog is a libation traditionally served during the holiday season between Thanksgiving and New Year's Day. Eggnog is made from cream or milk, egg yolks and sugar. Those who imbibe may choose to add brandy or rum to their eggnog. Those who drink eggnog are customarily supposed to drink to each other's health, though after a few glasses of spiked eggnog, most will drink to anything.

WHAT

WHAT

A single batch of eggnog doesn't last too long 'round here. I may have to start working on an industrial scale to keep everyone happy. That means buying my bourbon by the barrel instead of the case from now on.

I had rum in my eggnog for the first time Sunday. I was tailgating for the Texans game, and that was the "Special Drink of the Day." Man, that was good. I think it may be Bacardi time.

Going to make some Eggnog for Christmas I think.

As much as I like rum in eggnog, I tend to prefer bourbon. It's a Kentucky thang.

It's true, my gf is from Lexington and is going to be making some home-made nogg today. She uses really good bourbon and I believe a little rum as well. I can't wait to try it.

I usually use middle-of-the-road stuff for mixing, but I'm not going to hate on anyone for going balls deep. Woodford Reserve and Knob Creek are some pretty fine bourbons if she's going that route.

I agree with the the middle-of-the-road liquor. Use the good stuff straight. Even the m.o.t.r. stuff is pretty decent straight.

I draw the line at anything in a plastic bottle, though.

Well, good stuff for her might be middle-of-the-road in actuality, I don't know exactly the brand she's using.

Damn, you guys have the best christmas drink.

Here we just drink Coke or Skol beer, which is worse than Budweiser.

Drink your nog. It's Filmfanatic-tested, Halforums-approved.

Thanks. I suppose, then, a better quote would be:

BOW BEFORE THE POWER OF THE NOG!!!

Kneel before Nog.

(Now I just need a pic of Zod with a nog-stache)

Just had an egg nog and bourbon while trimming the tree.

EGG NOG!!!
