I was drinking some last night and thought:
Either this is way better than I remember, or this ‘regular’ store brand stuff from Kemps is really good.

kat.lol•183 days ago

the cheap store brand kind is my absolute favorite

matty.wtf•183 days ago

Just pretend you’re training like Rocky, but with more dairy

andhab.bsky.social•183 days ago

Mmm raw eggs and cream aged in the fridge for a week or two before drinking

jas.ong•183 days ago

If raw eggs are a turn-off, try coquito instead of egg nog.

amandablev.bsky.social•183 days ago

I am also a huge egg nog fan. I've never made my own. But, my favorite egg nog (and I've tried pretty much every brand one can purchase from the grocery store) is from Royal Crest Dairy.

spara.bsky.social•183 days ago

have you had the Mexican version, rompope?

kat.lol•183 days ago

yes, SO fucking good

spara.bsky.social•183 days ago

we make a big batch for the holidays

vanarkel.cc•183 days ago

So freaking good. We usually make the Alton Brown version, heavy on the funky rum. Trader Joe's has a really decent one for $9 though

mjg59.eicar-test-file.zip•183 days ago

Egg nog is certainly one of the American things that hasn't really made it across the Atlantic that I'll actually defend

lds.li•183 days ago

We’ve had Eierlikör on this side of the Atlantic for a while and it’s even better imo.

nickeberts.dev•183 days ago

I put in ten lbs every year during the December break and I think at least 70% of that gain can be attributed to spiked eggnog.

adalundhe.dev•183 days ago

It’s one of my fav holiday drinks (the other is hot coca and nothing is changing that)! ❤️

bigendiansmalls.com•183 days ago

stop trying to make it sound sexy

spara.bsky.social•183 days ago

Eggnog thirst trap

spara.bsky.social•183 days ago

goddamnit, now I have eggnog porn in my brain

kat.lol•183 days ago

like bukkake but it's just several people pouring egg nog into your mouth

hazelweakly.me•183 days ago

Ooooh that explains my interest in eggnog then

matty.wtf•183 days ago

Is that …. not what bukkake is?

I feel lied to.

chimeracoder.bsky.social•183 days ago

it is, just a different egg-to-cream ratio

spara.bsky.social•183 days ago

Rompope was invented by nuns, oh shit, now I have nuns in my brain. Christ I hate being a Catholic,

spara.bsky.social•183 days ago

stop

acab.dad•183 days ago

What

bigendiansmalls.com•183 days ago

loool

lizthegrey.com•183 days ago

the booze is what makes it good

lizthegrey.com•183 days ago

and also sterilises it to make it safe to drink, and apparently even safe to age for a month or two or even, uh, *checks notes* multiple years?!!

kat.lol•183 days ago

yeah! when i do the aged nog i only go a couple months or it starts to get pretty aggressive in flavor, but it's real goddamned good. i like the alton brown recipe for aging

f4t3.com•183 days ago

Someone called it “continental buffet quality sous vide scrambled egg” the other day and I nearly lost it.

(I too love it)

mullingitover.com•183 days ago

I can’t tolerate this slander of my drinking custard

kat.lol•183 days ago

I am very pro boozy drinking custard but we've gotta acknowledge that drinking a big glass of raw eggs and cream is kind of gross

mullingitover.com•183 days ago

I think unless you’re going out of your way to get the OG recipe all the eggnog you can buy is pasteurized 🤷‍♂️

kat.lol•183 days ago

I live in the UK now, I can't buy it at all. gotta make it, and I'm too lazy to pasteurize the eggs when booze will sterilize it

thomashamiltonjr.bsky.social•183 days ago

My Granny made it with rum

lucascoffey.dev•183 days ago

It is a tough act to balance. Similar to eating Greek yogurt.

“Let me eat this fermented milk, loaded with bacteria - not to mention it looks gross and the consistency is… even worse”

And yep, I also love them both

bettyjunod.bsky.social•183 days ago

I love it so much too and try to not think too hard about the fact that it’s booze cured raw egg yolks

alyssam-infosec.com•183 days ago

I was about to unfollow until I got to that last line 😊 It is so good.

matty.wtf•183 days ago

She really had me in the first half, not gonna lie

alyssam-infosec.com•183 days ago

I mean this is the artistic level of snark I've come to know and love about Kat but still. Dayum.

usrbinkat.io•183 days ago

I fell for it too I was about to angry scroll away and I just barely saw the last line in time 😆

usrbinkat.io•183 days ago

How unsatisfying is an "angry scroll" though?

When it really deserved like a spicy door slam and stomping off instead.

mediaphyter.bsky.social•183 days ago

If you guttural growl while scrolling it helps

kat.lol•183 days ago

undefeated champ of holiday drinks

alyssam-infosec.com•183 days ago

Ahh but the important question, rum or whiskey?

wblummis.bsky.social•183 days ago

So this sounds weird but hear me out… one of my friends turned me on to tequila egg nog and it’s… really good?

shawnhooper.ca•183 days ago

Spiced rum. And nutmeg.

kat.lol•183 days ago

kraken is incredible in egg nog

joshwatson.com•183 days ago

I used kraken in mine this year for the first time (I do an equal mix of rum, bourbon, and cognac) and it was on a different level

kat.lol•183 days ago

bourbon!

but this time I used brandy, because I'm almost out of the last bottle of bourbon I brought from the states

alyssam-infosec.com•183 days ago

Brandy is a solid choice too IMHO. Also, the sleeper pic here is Bailey's. I know cream and cream is just redundant but seriously it's surprising how it kind of compliments the egg nog.

kat.lol•183 days ago

hmmmmm I am interested

dreamwieber.bsky.social•183 days ago

Have you seen Martha Stewart's completely bonkers recipe?

kat.lol•183 days ago

yeah lmao, that's what I do when I'm making a large batch for a gathering. though I use woodford and cruzan instead of maker's and mount gay
