What is Christmas without all the wonderful scents and warmth of Christmas goodies? The mixture herein helps us discover a wonderful treat that you can make and share with friends and family. There are two methods: a) is from scratch using the ingredients listed below, or b) buy save some time and purchase Weigel’s eggnog, then add rum to taste. I prefer the Weigel’s method because it’s ‘cold separated’ – meaning it is smoother and more flavorful than traditional eggnog. Mele Kalikimaka.

here-here! we love eggnog too! It’s part of our Christmas-eve dinner. Some folks add too much rum, but we’ve made it using a jigger glass or shot glass to ensure each cup has the appropriate two oz. mix. Yummy!

What are you doing? Encouraging us to drink? Ok, I’ll try it.

What a great idea – using egg nog!! I’m not a huge fan of drinking it, either, although I do like the flavor. It’s the throat-coating thing – like you mentioned. I can’t even drink milk for that reason!!

Wow…I’ve never made this, eggnog is one of my favorite things about the holidays…I really miss the brand they would sell in my home town, it was a hometown made eggnog, thicker and cleaner, oh so wonderful! I’m trying this the second I spot eggnog in my grocery store for sure!

Yum! I’ve got pumpkins on the mind but this just put me in the mood for Christmas. I actually looked to see if the Weigel’s eggnog was available here in my hometown and it’s not. I’ll go with “a” It’s A Great recipe!
