Bookmarked, Thanks!

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.

[MadEagle]

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

[independentmind]

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!

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)

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.

[Focault's Pendulum]

1 Separate yolks & whites 2 Beat yolks until very light

What a rascist statement. Where's the ACLU when you need them??!!?

[Revolting cat!]

Awesome, dude! Bookmarked. By the way, what brand of cigarettes did Dr Grafton recommend would go well with this concoction?

[Tennessee_Bob]

Would you be upset if I changed the recipe to skip everything except the Bourbon, the Brandy and the Rum?

That, and the preparation stuff too. Just pour them into glasses separately and enjoy...

[SpaceBar]

Since we are talking alcohol, here is a recipe that I've fine-tuned over some time. Enjoy. Link is here.

And a Happy Holidays to all fellow freepers.

[the bottle let me down]

bump for later

[Arm_Bears]

I'll have what the man on the floor is drinking.

[Ditter]

Ugh! Sorry it makes me green to even think about all that liquor & cream.

[Pearls Before Swine]

Is this a "heart healthy" recipe?

[savedbygrace]

2 Beat yolks until very light

More or less in the words of Steve Allen, "Show me a man who would beat an egg, and I'll show you a man who'd whip a prune."

Or something like that. ;-)

[Exit148]

My favorite is made with ice cream. It has ice cream, eggs, rum, half and half and nutmeg. I don't remember the amounts - I just do it.

However I found this one in a google search:

1/2 gallon of Egg Nog ice cream (the good stuff) not the cheapie sale brand or low cal stuff.
1/2 pint light rum
1/2 pint brandy
1/2 of a cup of Cream de Cacao
1 quart of 1/2 & 1/2
Add Nutmeg & Cinnamon to taste

[No More Gore!!!]

Made this last night for our family tree-trimming. It is better than you can possibly imagine. We were a very "happy" family. The best thing is that it is almost noon and I can start in on what's left. ;-)
