i’m not a big fan of eggnog, but my husband is crazy about it. but he drinks it slowly so we have it in the fridge for about a month. 😉 and PS: why dont you just hoard the eggnog? buy out the stores supply… ---

And for the milk variety, I always buy a few extras and put it in the freezer and open it up in June and July. 😀 But for the milk type I can’t keep drinking it all year long. I would if they made it year-round. ---

i didnt know that there were varieties of eggnog. have you ever had espresso with fire water? kind of like an italian version of a hot toddy? also, i would have figured you as one who made your own eggnog from scratch. (that way you could **always** have it year 'round.) ---

My recipe is very similar to this one, except I only used rum (the bourbon and cognac were out of my reach): > **[Chowhound - The Site for Food Nerds: Cooking Tips, Culinary How-To's, &...](https://www.chowhound.com/)** > > Chowhound is the site for food nerds - from expert chef tips to culinary how-to's, helpful ingredient lists, baking science, and more. When I make it these days it is very popular: I always get asked to make more next year! I occasionally make some at random times during the year. I don’t think I have ever bought any ready-made eggnog. ---

I used to make it from scratch every Christmas Eve with all the good stuff - raw eggs and cream (and some type of liquor in it - which one didn’t seem to matter too much). But that was many years ago when the days had more hours in them. 🙂 ---

do you enjoy espresso with sambucco instead of hot toddies? (b/c of your italian blood 😉) it is the perfect time of year for that drink as well. do you carry a flask ? ---

hey, did you turn on your tv yet and watch the news coverage about the Times Square New Years crowd waiting for the ball to drop? people are actually wearing diapers b/c you are not allowed out of your section to go sneak away to P. but i’ll bet a lot of those people are carrying flasks (maybe filled with eggnog 😉 ) ---

Sure I could do that. I don’t have any peppermint schnapps right now but that would be tasty. Going out in a couple hours to 2 nye parties and then got a running race tomorrow am (I’ll be running slow). ---
