Eggnog
Do you like it? If so, do you buy it or make it? Have you ever aged it?
I'm thinking about making this: http://altonbrown.com/eggnog-recipe/ |

Just go with bourbon and maybe a Christmas beer, then go extra hard on other Christmas traditions if anyone objects.
Or **** 'em, depending on family dynamics. |

Made two batches for next year. One with bourbon, rum, and cognac. And one with rum and Kahlua.

Mine worked really well this year. Last year was overpowering. I usually use Wild Turkey 101 as a mixing/cooking bourbon but this year I went with regular (80 proof). I usually do ¾ bourbon and ¼ rum for the liquor part. Never been wild about the brandy. Don't know why. But this year was fantastic. Definitely alcoholic and not for the faint but not overwhelming either.
I don't have the discipline to wait a year. I usually make mine Saturday after Thanksgiving and drink on Christmas. My 2 gallons will usually last a couple of weeks. |

It’s time to make Eggnog for Christmas. After much tinkering, here’s my basic recipe:
12 egg yolks 2 cups sugar 4 cups whole milk 2 cups heavy cream 1 750 ml bottle bourbon (I usually use Wild Turkey 101 or Knob Creek 100 proof) 1 cup Myers dark rum 1 vanilla bean Pinch salt Mix yolks and sugar with a hand mixer. Split vanilla bean. Scrape paste into yolk mixture. Add 1 cup milk and incorporate. Put yolk mixture into 1gallon container. Add remaining ingredients, including vanilla bean husks. Mix thoroughly. Age in cool place (fridge or garage if you’re in a northern climate) but don’t let it freeze. Wait at least 28 days, mixing every few days. I usually make 2 gallons at a time. I like the idea of Kahlua but I usually make this as a base and add Kahlua if I feel in the mood. This is a variation on Ruhlman’s recipe. Havs enough alcohol that it tastes good and kills germs but not so much that you have to choose between a glass of egg nog and driving. |

I came home with a 1.75L bottle of Pennsylvania Dutch today to take Friendsgiving tomorrow. We'll see how it is.
