[...] because you’re drinking more often. Also, holiday cocktails are terribly fattening. Eggnog, which I will soon be trying, has 340 calories. Hot Buttered Rum has 292 calories. A Chocolate Martini can have around 440 [...]

Weird thing is, we Brits don’t really drink this at all any more. It’s become more of an American thing. Bit archaic, like still saying gotten instead of got or using Imperial measurements instead of metric – LOL! It’s funny the things that went over with the Mayflower and stayed there.

I love eggnog and my kids do too, especially my recently weaned 2.5 year-old. I have never made it, though I grow my own eggs so I should. I have never had it with booze because I have been pregnant or nursing (or both) for the last decade.
I recall either Laura Ingalls’ or Almanzo Wilder’s mother making eggnog in one of the Little House books as a refreshment for men working in a field.

Alisa, even more than pie–this looks like my ice cream batter. It’s alcoholic ice cream batter, isn’t it? That sounds lovely.

Man, I LOVE eggnog! Especially the non-non-alcoholic kind It’s such a comforting, end of year drink to me. The only downside is that it’s really rich, but who cares… just don’t down the full liter.
I’ve never made it myself and I’m sure it would be much better than store bought stuff.

Another thing I’d try… add a shot of espresso for yet another kick. You’ve inspired me to try to make some!
Tell me how yours turns out…
