Hi everyone, I am just curious how you like your eggnog. My husband and his father like to mix it with Sprite. I think that is disgusting. He thinks I am weird because I mix it with milk since it is so thick on it's own. So, I decided to post to find out how others drink their eggnog. I am hoping someone out there will agree with me, that eggnog and sprite should not be mixed! Yuck!

Right outta the carton!!! LOL I have never had homemade eggnog...but sprite?? EWWWWWWWWWWW


*edited for the brain working faster than the fingers syndrome (spelling)*

How about spiked with rum?

I'm not a big fan of eggnog, especially when combined with Sprite, but I got wind of an Eggnog Cheesecake I'm just itching to try.

One carton of egg nog.

One bottle of brandy.

Throw away the egg nog and drink the brandy.

I love it just like it is, but diluting with a little milk might be wise too.

I sure would like to get my hands on the eggnog cheesecake recipe too! I've got one for a nutmeg cheesecake that my mom is nuts over. Probably good with a glass of eggnog.

I like it out of the carton too! Never have had it homemade or spiked. The sprite sounds "different"

Have had homemade but much easier to open a carton and add rum or whiskey or brandy or....whatever!

Plain from the carton for me! Maybe a little nutmeg ontop.

Sprite sounds..different. It might be good. Maybe its like coffee soda. I dunno. I think i'll try it though. I'm always up to try new things.

I like it out of the carton with semi sweet chocolates on the side. So good!!!

I like to add some Brandy to it... and it's delicious!!

I like homemade. If I have to drink it from the carton, I want it with whiskey. I love that flavor. I will drink the homemade with whiskey too.

jgclucas...you are pretty funny!

I like mine with a little of the spirits as well, sprinkled with nutmeg. I'm also a big fan of Tom & Jerrys during the holidays, but that seems to be a Wisconsin thing; can't get the mix down here in GA.

Sprite???? gag!!!

kos

P.S. I have eggnog ice cream in the freezer too! yum.

I like my eggnog left at the store....I never really got the whole egg nog thing....but most people love it......hehehehehe just thought I would share my opnion...=)

Hey Kos--
I like Tom & Jerry's, too! THey talked about T & J's on Food Network and I just had to try it. Found a recipe online. Now I serve them at my cookie swap with my girlfriends.

I'll take it any way...I LOVE eggnog!

I like eggnog straight from the carton and I like eggnog with a little milk in it and some whip cream on top with a sprinkle of cinnamon. Yummy!

Hey mac,

Would you share the recipe you found with me, as i'm now dying to try this eggnogg.
I believe it's an american thing, as i have never heard of it before.

Is it something that is only drank with the hollidays?

We have something that sounds simelar to it her in Holland but i don't know if it's the same.

There's a recipe if you want to use it.

And yes egg nog is usually only drank during the holidays.

I think i'll have a nice cup right now!

I love eggnog period. I have had it homemade and in the carton or plastic jug. Eggnog icecream is the best. I am looking for an eggnog cheesecake and regular cake to make for the holidays. Would anyone have these recipes to share with me? Oh I just polished off a quart of Turkey Hill eggnog. Boy its really alot sweeter than the other brands. Bordon eggnog is really thick.

I love eggnog!!! Especially from my hometown! We have a diaquiri (spelled wrong) shack called Mondelo's in town. They have the best eggnog diaquiri!! Yummy "spirits" rum or whiskey w/ nutmeg sprinkled on the top! Ohhh, weeeee it is good!!! I have my 1st one of the season on Thanksgiving night!! Drive to town with my best friend & we each order one! Go down to the Riverbank where all the Christmas lights are & have came on for the first night all year. Sip & talk & look at all the pretty lights! A friendship tradition! I love EGGNOG & my tradition!!!

I like my eggnog mixed with either rum or whiskey, with whipped cream and cinnamon on top..yummy .

No sooner than Thanksgiving Dinner was over yesterday, my son-in-law took a plate of food to the owner of the liquor store for me (I always feel sorry for anyone working on a holiday) and came back with egg nog and rum. I was so full of dinner that I stared at him in disbelief! Next thing I knew, I was having one also!!! I have a jug of Pusser Rum that was given to me years ago and just broke the wax seal on it about a month ago. It was wonderful with the eggnog with a little nutmeg on top. Only problem with eggnog is that a person has to put enough rum in it to forget all the calories it carries!!!! My friend makes eggnog and it is really good but nothing like "store bought". Not thick and rich. I figure it has less calories!!!!

As for mixing eggnog and Sprite--if it feels good, do it. I owned a bar for 13 years and saw some pretty strange things mixed together that tasted pretty good.

I only like the homemade kind.......and Sprite would totally ruin eggnog if you ask me!! That sounds disgusting!!!!!!!

My sister-in-law always mixes it with 7-up. I'm a add-a-little milk person myself. I should dig out my eggnog dip recipe where I mix it with whipped cream and dip fruit in it. Yummy stuff. Too much eggnog is just not enough.

1&1/2 cups eggnog
2 tablespoons cornstarch
½ cup whipping cream
1 tablespoon sugar
½ cup sour cream
1 tablespoon light rum (optional)
assorted fresh fruit

In a medium saucepan mix eggnog and cornstarch and cook over
medium heat stirring until thick and bubbly. Cook and stir for two
minutes more. Remove from heat and cover surface with plastic wrap
and cool. Whip cream and sugar to stiff peaks. Fold whip cream,
eggnog mixture, sour cream and rum if desired and chill overnight.
Serve with fruit. Makes 3 cups.

I'd love to try an eggnog truffle if you wouldn't mind sharing the recipe.
