Egg Nog and Egg Nog Recipies?

[Cohiba]

Hey All,

Well ol' Cohiba needs a little help with some egg nog/e.n. recipies. Tomorrow I'll be off for veterans day and the wife and I will be running around OKC. So, we'll stop in on Whole Foods and look at their Thanksgiving Food/Turkey packages, then we'll hit a few liquor stores to see whats in for egg nog.

This leads to the title and a few questions. What favorite brands of egg nog have you tried and recommend? Both with & without alcohol. We have had some(non-alcohol) that tasted like liquid plastic...yuck!! Any good recipies you suggest?

I've run across a few and here is one...anyone make this?
Jim Beam® Bourbon Egg Nog

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Ingredients
3/4 cup Jim Beam® Bourbon
6 large egg yolks
3/4 cup sugar
2-1/2 cups milk
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg


Preparation
Beat egg yolks and sugar in a medium saucepan. Slowly beat in 2 cups of the milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until thermometer registers 150 degrees, or mixture coats the back of a metal spoon, Remove from heat; strain into container. Stir in remaining milk, Jim Beam® Bourbon, vanilla and nutmeg. Cover and chill at least 8 hours or overnight. Sprinkle with additional nutmeg. Makes 6-8 servings.

**Yes I've tried Pennsylvania Dutch Egg Nog...its okay.

Do you prefer cooked or raw 'nog?

You would think considering the subject I would be able to make a worthy contribution..... But alas if it has dairy or spiced rum it might put me in the ER.

dyabolical.......prefer already bottled or packaged. Do you have recipies?

My favorite recipe was lost several years ago. I am however going to try the Good Eats method this year.

I like a little bit of Sprite in my eggnog, some people thinks that's strange.
