So that's how egg nog's made? That's much easier than I thought...yet another libation I can experiment with.

Yessirree! I didn't realise how easy it was to make till i read the ingredients label on a carton from the store, so I looked up a few recipes, and made my own recipe.

oh, and a note I forgot to add - The shot of rum or brandy can be a very generous shot

I have a hard time not pouring heavy, so I got you covered there.

XD The idea of a raw or raw-ish egg has always prevented me from trying eggnog. Now that I know it's cooked a bit I'll have to try it. My mom likes it pretty well so maybe I'll have to make us some. =) Thankee, Mira!

*laughs* I don't know many people who aren't heavy on the pouring
