    I love it too. Not real picky about the brand. If egg nog were readily available year-round I would be enormous. At least my kids like it too, so if I buy a container I don't end up drinking it all myself (my husband can't stand it.)

    Even better than egg nog is coquito...a Puerto Rican version of the drink. Decadent.

    Broguieres Egg Nog.

    It's kinda hard to find as it's from a small diary in California. People search for it during the holiday season. $8/ bottle but worth it, I use it when I make egg nog cheesecake.

    @ilfaith, that's the second reference to coquito in as many days! How did I grow to semi adulthood and never experience this??

    You said what is the best egg nog? You didn't have stipulations about reasonable prices.

    There are blogs and posts about 'sightings' of this egg nog - because it sells out so quickly. I'm telling you - worth trying if you're in California or can make it happen.

    I don't know...I've been making my own for so long now, I don't think I could do a commercial egg nog anymore.

    You're 100% right; after all this debauchery is only tolerated once a year, so a few more doubloons should not raise raise a hair.

    Thanks for the tip..I've got my google alert set!

    I love egg nog. I make my own:

    Since I live alone (and will therefore be drinking it all myself) using a low-carb recipe prevents me from over-doing it.

    Arethusa Farm Egg Nog--from a small dairy farm in Connecticut, and it's only available in stores in CT and NYC. I will be driving from Boston to Hartford on Monday just to pick some up!

    Not a fan of egg nog, that artificial stuff in the case at Wal-Mart, no temptation. However, the real, homemade stuff, yummy! Where is the rum?

    I'm not a fan of drinking it but I did make some pretty amazing eggnog fudge last night!

    Best egg nog?

    Here.

    6 eggs separated
    1c milk
    1 vanilla bean
    2c cream
    1/3-1/5 bottle bourbon
    1oz rum
    Sugar to taste (brown is better, white is whiter.)
    2T fresh grated nutmeg
    1/2t allspice
    1T cinnamon
    1/4t ginger
    pinch of salt

    Beat yolks with sugar until light and thick. Mix in milk and all other ingredients except for whites and cream. Set into fridge and let mature for up to a full day. Once matured take the egg whites out to warm for 1 hour, and get a hard chill on the cream in the freezer. Beat both to stiff peaks. Fold cream into base, 1/3rd at a time, then fold whites into base lightly, 1/3rd at a time, and just enough to mostly incorporate the whites mostly. Pour into prechilled punch bowl and grate more nutmeg over the top.

    Serves one. Or two. Or 4 really lucky people.

    This. Homemade, way better than anything from the store.

    I love egg nog. Which is why I buy the cheap stuff from the store for my boys (who also love egg nog) so I don't drink it all. Although I may or may not be spotted licking out their cups after they drink it. I'm going to do some homemade this year. And if I get hooked, it's your fault. :-)

    I'm working on modifying it to have a custard base. If I perfect it, I'll post it.

    Yum! I get my eggnog from the farm, they are delivering a half gallon today in my dairy delivery. $5 a quart, so rich & creamy I only take a few sips at a time.

    wow... (the homemade recipe) I am going to make this... and I will keep checking on the custard base, the calorie base just went out the window :)
