I had to laugh when I saw that you don’t like eggnog. Eggnog is not milk…its a delicious, cream based (based being opperative word) drink that is drowning in alchohol, the delicious tastes of rum and bourbon, and nutmeg….I too hate milk. I hate the taste of it, but I could drink homemade eggnog till the day I die. And I love your site!

What a great list of drinks. I wish I’d seen this for the past year’s holiday celebrations. I used to be a big fan of eggnog and like the idea of it, but I don’t care much for milk nowadays, so I can’t seem to “stomach” the idea of all that milk, so I’ve foregone it. Plus one member of my family is vegetarian, so he won’t touch the stuff and I’m just anti-milk period now. I haven’t had the Williams-Sonoma mulling spices, but we did buy some from R.W. Knudsen (who also makes apple cider) for our apple cider this year and these little tea-bag shaped things were the best. Every holiday party we went to, we brought along this drink and it was a winner.

I’ve seen the flowering teas before but have never tried them. I’ll have to do that.

The WHOLE POINT of eggnog is to disguise the taste of milk with millions of gallons of bourbon, galaxies of confectioner’s powdered sugar, masses of whipped egg whites, craters of egg yolks and a truck load of nutmeg.

DO NOT try the wretched supermarket premade stuff. It tastes like a dairy product.

DO NOT use any other spirit in your eggnog besides bourbon. It will be unable to hide the flavor and texture of the milk.

We use the recipe in the classic Joy of Cooking, and Joy is the operative word.

Hi Kelli, love your site as usual, can’t wait to try your brownies. Even though I drink milk I think you’re wise not to drink eggnog. It’s totally disgusting! You and Andrew and a Merry Christmas.
