In Dixie we use ONLY WHISKEY.....maybe brandy for more delicate palates in some families but not mine
from Kentucky or Tennessee....yer pick
And we fold our nog with eggs, cream, sugar and the spirit....dont overdo the whiskey or it will overcook the egg
It is served chilled, promptly and in nice crystal with your finest silver to be spooned till the bottom...it is a child’s first sense of hard liquor usually
And shaved fresh nutmeg....
It is very common for Christmas eve get together...along with a sideboard of goodies
Never that carton nog though some like Goldenrod or Purity is ok as a snack
I have seen Mississippi egg nog requested served at wakes....it is that nostalgic and heartfelt for us
I have my family recipe which dates back to pre Choctaw treaty days for anyone who needs one
Btw ....lord what odd coments here...
Flavored liquor?
Bitter?
Wine?
U gotta be kidding?
Rum is actually tolerable but lacks the bite of a mash
Yes...dont waste premium aged stuff in a nog but not plastic jug junk either
Jack is ok....i use Rebel Yell in keeping in theme
Real nog has to have spirits....otherwise its bullshite whipped cream uncooked merengue....tasty but wholly different
We take egg nog very serious....like gumbo or which catfish producer rocks or which county has best watermelons or bradleys
