I made a double batch of the Alton Brown recipe this year. That worked out to about 6 quarts and was definitely a hit on Christmas Eve.
Our neighbor brought us a bottle of egg nog for Christmas. It had some embellishments in it and was the best egg nog I've ever tasted. It was still awful, to the universal agreement of the 6 people that tried it. Then we opened the bottle of Buffalo Trace Bourbon Cream, which everyone loved.
We are not nog people, apparently.
I've heard nothing but great things about the Alton Brown recipe but have never tried it.
In the spirit of FOMO, I'm up for giving it a try if I ever come across some.

Costco had bottles of Kirkland eggnog that were pretty good. I bought one because I saw a lot of people getting it.

Of the store-bought adult variety, this stuff is cheap and has rum, brandy, and whiskey.

Between that and the Kemp's eggnog ice cream stacked in my deep freeze, I can get my eggnog fix year round.Originally Posted by Coyotesfan97
Never had the homemade stuff, but I'm definitely intrigued after reading this thread.

The Alton Brown recipe, properly aged, is thebestiveever had.
I need to put a reminder on my calendar for next Halloween to make a batch.

Hold on, you're telling me eggnog ice cream has existed for 30+ years, and I just found out about it?
You've convinced me, I set the reminder to make a batch with the Alton Brown recipe. Or maybe a couple batches, in case the first doesn't last long enough to be properly aged...
Oh wow. Yeah.Hold on, you're telling me eggnog ice cream has existed for 30+ years, and I just found out about it?
When I was a kid the BR version was the best, but Publix (Florida-based Southern grocery chain, if anyone isn't familiar) had their own brand that was almost as good.

It's better if you make it around July 4th. But I"m not that organized, so usually labor day for me.
The Morganthaler egg nog is great, and you can make just one blender full. We do the tequila/sherry combo, and really like it. I don't think is quite as good as the aged egg nog, but only making one blender full at a time is really helpful to being able to see my toes.
