I never eat nonfat/lowfat anything. My view is that if a food can only be made healthy by processing it to remove the naturally occurring fats, then I probably have no business eating it in the first place. Anyway, fat has been unjustly maligned in my opinion. Excessive sugar intake is a bigger culprit.
My husbands favorite is Oak Farms egg nog, it’s pretty thick and sweet. I usually only splash a bit in my coffee as a treat.

Yep. The Southern Comfort eggnog is a decent commercial eggnog.

Out here in taxifornia I just picked up some Knudsen eggnog, pretty tasty even before the home additives. I have found that the only Alt Dena nog is that wussified low fat, low enjoyment crud.
You can’t go wrong with George Washington’s eggnog recipe.
Blend
1 Pint Brandy
1/2 Pint Rye Whiskey
1/4 Pint Rum
1/4 Pint sherry
1-1/2 Cups Sugar
1 Quart Cream
1 Quart Milk
12 Eggs
I always liked Barbers and Sealtest. I usually only buy it after Christmas when they often cut it to less than half price.
A couple of times I’ve bought Lactaid brand eggnog. I think it’s pretty good. It’s lactose-free; the lactose has been broken down into simpler sugars, which aren’t good for a diabetic like me, but at least there’s no lactose to irritate my GI tract. A little expensive, but tastes good to me. It’s very sweet.
Find the closest local dairy store! Best eggnog I have ever had was from some very happy cows up the road about 10 miles. Now that I’m allergic to cow milk I use Silk holiday nog.

Egg Nog Recipe
VMI70 | December 1903 | Dr. Grafton Tyler
Posted on 12/15/2001 3:58:56 PM by VMI70
I want to share with all my fellow FReepers the recipe for what is probably the the greatest egg nog recipe ever. If you are a non drinker, move along, there is nothing to see here. If you are a drinker, even a heavy one, be very careful with this. It is a first cousin to rocket fuel.
Warning: this is a pain in the neck to make. It will take you a long time, about an hour and a half, but the results are well worth it. You will even make converts out of prople who are not egg nog fans.
Merry Christmas to all!!!
PS: Cheese goes very well with this. Also, put a small amount in a cup, and put it on your front porch. It may attract a Christmas moose or two.

“Last year I ended up with Southern Comfort brand eggnog”
I spent an ill advised night with Southern Comfort in college once and I still can’t look at the logo without a slight hurl reflex. :=) Somebody told me that its pretty tasty though. Maybe with a little Wild Turkey and a splash of brandy.
