Love it this time of year. I drink it by the glass but sometimes it's a bit heavy even for a fatty like me so I need to cut it down with milk.
Egg Nog...love it or hate it?

Yup
I love it but I can only do a gulp at a time
I bought my first carton of Southern Comfort nog of the season. It's tastes OK, a bit different...............BUT I read the ingredients. Angry. It has HFCS! I think they changed the recipe, not sure. So I diluted it 50/50 with unsweetened almond milk - to dilute the poison. It is acceptable as a morning beverage before some kind of exercise.
We bought a quart of Trader Joe's oat based egg nog. Have not opened yet. Here goes!

They have spiced and unspiced
I caught the HFCS last year.
Amazing how many things have it that you might not expect
All the chocolate sauces including Hershey’s
Not Ghirardelli though so I got that

Depends on the viscosity, no....really not a fan
if i can buy good one, why not. i like it in coffee. or almond liquor
The key is to insist on ONLY Warnink's Advocaat. They use only 4 ingredients: egg yolks, brandy, sugar and vanilla.
Sure, Bols also makes one, but it has all sorts of creative garbage in it.
In other parts of the world, Hula Hoop is an egg liqueur that's free of junk.
It's easy to make yourself anyway. All you need is milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks, vodka, brady, and vanilla bean.
Though I haven’t had it in years, I liked eggnog with some rum.
My Dad would put eggnog in his coffee.

Nope, nope, nope, nope, nope.
The oat milk stuff is not terrible, but it's not egg nog. No eggs! Taste. Is different.
Bought a quart of Darigold light Egg Nog (on sale at Fred Meyer). Not bad at all. Doesn't hardly taste light really.
So............I blended the two 50/50. Delicisiousicessness!! Will try with some booze added in tonight.

We usually make this vegan egg nog recipe over the holidays.
We use fresh ground nutmeg and DO NOT run it thru a strainer (nice and thick and full of natural fiber from the dates and cashews).
We also substitute a can of coconut cream for the water for a creamier taste (more similar to the real thing). So a batch will only be about 2.5 cups or 700ml. When blending, sparingly add water to maintain a thick and rich consistency (or add based on personal preference). If the cashews aren't fully hydrated before blending, they will continue to absorb the liquid thereby naturally thickening the mixture further. Be careful not to add too much water, as adding alcohol will further thin the mixture.
It's filling (a single batch is easily enough for two ppl.), yet not overly sweet. A cup with some rum is nicely satisfying (all the fats, fiber etc.), with a boozy twist
As an added bonus, the leftovers go great on waffles the next morning

I messed up the recipe in my previous post. Don't put Brady in the egg nog. Just don't.

This is the best brand in my opinion. I’ve done downed 4 glasses of it since I’ve been home. Going to need more lol.
