What is EggNog?, Seriously Options

[D-Man]

Every year about this merry time, i hear people talking of EggNog... WTF is EggNog? When i was a kid, i though it was alcholic; because you always see some drunk dude on a TV christmas special, and someone says; "he's had too much Eggnog".

But the otherday, my chick f-ed up and bought me EggNog Coffee creamer... and it tasted like i was munching on a cinimin stick or something Is EggNog really THAT nasty? Is it a form of alchol? Does it even have Eggs in it? WTF is a "Nog"?

Not trying to be totaly retarted here... but i've seen it mentioned several times on this fourm; so someone help me out here.

Thanks

You can make your own eggnog if you'd like.
The stuff in the store has this slightly odd taste IMO. And its overly pasty.

In a blender, use the ratio of one (1) large egg per one and a half (1.5) cups of milk.
You can use evaporated milk instead of regular cow juice for a thicker nog.
And condensed milk for some sweetness,
plus some sugar to taste.

Add freshly grated:
Nutmeg(a lot!)
allspice
cinnamon

and Add whatever alcohol you like, there are no rules. Rum if you like rum, Jack if you like jack. whatever makes you "happy" lol.
AND BLEND!!!

and you can pour it over ice or blend it with the ice but it gets kinda watered down to me if you blend it.



Edit: if you have "smelly" eggs grate some fresh lime/lemon skin in there.
