Sorry about the Front Page listing; please delete. Thanks.

Bookmarked, Thanks!

[MadEagle]

After everything we've been through, this deserves front page listing! Long live The 'NOG!

Shouldn't take 1.5 hours to make, unless you have to sample all the spirits beforehand...

[Libertina]

Sounds good to me! Right clicked & thanks.

[VMI70]

Sounds yummy, but lethal.

It is. We had a party with this stuff in 1995, and the following morning, one of my closest friend's wife had to go into the hospital for 3 days for heart palpitations as a result of her over-imbibing. "Holiday heart" was the diagnosis.

FReegards,

[MadEagle]

Wow, what kind of doctor WAS Dr. Grafton, anyway? : )

[VMI70]

Damn! Caught me...

This sounds very like an old family recipe I have. The stuff can really knock out if you drink too much. My parents used to make batches of this every Easter and Christmas.

How do you eliminate the risk of salmonella if you use raw eggs?

[Eagle Eye]

Makes a great breakfast!

[VMI70]

Neurosurgeon--His nickname was shakey.

[G-Bear]

Kinda think the alcohol will take care of salmonella, and probably just about any other organism!

[VMI70]

How do you eliminate the risk of salmonella if you use raw eggs?

No such thing--Junk science--Liberal canard

On the other hand, if you really are worried about it, take a look at the volume of alcohol. Nothing bad can live in that.

[VMI70]

Beat me, but not by much.

Thanks, now I'll share my favorite with you:

EGG NOG FROM HELL

3 of them cartons of Egg Nog

1 carton of the Liquor of Your Choice, no bigger’n the carton of egg nog. Make mine Everclear!

** Note: If the Liquor of Your Choice is clear and not too heavily flavored, most of the guests won’t know how cheap you are. If you try to throw in yer leftover Peppermint Schnapps or Sloe Gin, it ain’t gonna work too well.

Get a big pitcher or punch bowl. Mix all ingredients. Don’t use a metal container cuz if the liquor’s too strong, it’ll eat through the bowl.

OR - fer a smaller batch:

1 carton of Egg Nog.

Pour out one glass and feed it to the neighbor’s cat. Pour into the carton enough Liquor of Your Choice to almost fill the carton, but leave a little room to stir it up. This way you don’t need a separate container, plus it’s portable if church is running too long.

Fer Fancy Eggnog:

Prepare as above, either batch'll do. Pour into individual serve glasses or styrofoam cups. Garnish with a sprinkle of nutmeg.

** Note: in this case "garnish" means a little something added to the presentation of the beverage (it don’t mean losin' yer wages)

[joathome]

Wow! This isn't eggnog. This is jungle juice with some eggnog thrown in. (I suppose I'm dating myself. :) )

[AppyPappy]

I remember growing up that a lady across the street made the best eggnog. Of course, it was packed with liquor (brandy I believe) but my dad loved it.

[independentmind]

Actually, my great-grandfather owned a bar. I think this is the traditional way to make eggnog.
