Egg Nog Season !!!
How do you and yours enjoy your egg nog? Here in Texas, my family does it up with Crown Royal, and a splash of 7up to lighten it up a bit. I've personally altered that recipe by using soy-based egg nog, which is not as thick. I still do it with Crown, though, or course.

Please give full recipe so I can understand what you're talking about... I get egg nog in principle, but have never ever had the chance to taste it.

It's nice to have a cup of egg nog about once every 4 years.

I buy one small quart of it, then mix it 1/2 and 1/2 with 1% milk. Straight is too thick for me. One that's gone, I'm done with it till next year. There is some in my fridge as I post. MMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmm...

I agree, it's too thick. But the soy version is much less so (especially with the whiskey...)

. . . the REAL thing
Quote:
14 eggs - separated 9 tbsp sugar 1 cup 100 proof whiskey 1 pint heavy cream Mix sugar with egg yolks and beat well, adding whiskey very slowly while beating. Beat egg whites until stiff (Make sure your egg beating device is not contaminated with yolks, or the whites will never get stiff). Fold the stiff whites into the yolk and whiskey mixture. Whip the heavy cream and fold in with the rest (be gentle to avoid deflating the mixture). Serve with nutmeg on the side. This is excellent with pound cake, but be sure everyone has room to crash as over 60% of those who partake will need to sleep very soon.  JerryM
