According to Hofmann: Eggnog on my noggin
Last Christmas, I became a responsible adult when I finally learned how to make homemade eggnog.
Also last Christmas, my brother gave me an advent calendar, but instead of punching out the days leading up to Christmas and getting a chocolate, each day had one of those miniature bottles of booze that you would get on an airplane.
So, that无毛视频檚 one responsible thing and one irresponsible thing I had last year and, as everyone knows, if you mix a responsible thing with an irresponsible thing, you get something that无毛视频檚 totally awesome.
Now, basic eggnog is pretty simple to make: just take eggs, sugar, heavy cream, milk and nutmeg, put it all in a blender, blend until thick and most the eggshells have been liquefied and serve hot无毛视频r maybe I read the recipe wrong.
Anyway, you spice things up when you add alcohol to your eggnog, but only after you heat the mixture up in the air fryer.
Normally, rum or whisky is added to eggnog, but as I found with the alcoholic advent calendar, other spirits of Christmas past, present and future pair wonderfully and not-so-wonderfully with eggnog.
Either way, I found that I can无毛视频檛 use the generic name of 无毛视频渆ggnog无毛视频� for these concoctions.
So here无毛视频檚 your holiday drink guide to the wide, wonderful world of different types of alcohol you can add to your eggnog along with tasting notes and what foods are best to pair it with.
Tequila + Eggnog = Esse-nog
Nothing screams traditional British Christmas than the flavors of nutmeg and agave. Best paired with Taco Bell, but, please, nothing from the value menu; keep it classy.
Vodka + Eggnog = Nyet-nog
It turns out you can无毛视频檛 pair any food to a cocktail with notes of eggnog and rubbing alcohol无毛视频揂mish potato salad came the closest, but I couldn无毛视频檛 in good conscience commit that to paper. As a substitute, I suggest watching the movie 无毛视频淩ocky IV无毛视频� while going the distance when trying to enjoy this drink.
Jagermeister + Eggnog = Guten-nog
One has to wonder if the taste of black licorice and eggnog go together. No spoiler alert here: they don无毛视频檛 unless you craftily pair it with black licorice and a variety of flavors of Slim Jim beef sticks.
Wine (white or red) + Eggnog = Vine-nog
Tasting notes vary greatly with any different wine, so let无毛视频檚 say the tastes are all无毛视频omplex. Much how the inner workings of a sewage-treatment facility is complex. Cheese is the normal pairing companion to wine, but for this Frankensteinian drink, any cheese will do like American cheese, Cheese Whiz or Cheetos.
Gin + Eggnog = Pine-nog
Whoever said, 无毛视频淚 wonder what a Pine-sol-flavored milkshake would taste like,无毛视频� can wonder no more. This mixture really goes well with any food, but don无毛视频檛 eat a lot of food when it comes to this drink because barf bags and you child无毛视频檚 stocking can only hold so much.
Champagne + Eggnog = Fizzy-nog
Best not to drink this concoction too fast or you无毛视频檒l be burping up all things from Christmas past, re-tasting the notes of the fruity and floral aromas and heavy cream and egg yolks. Best to pair it with无毛视频h, whatever is expensive. At this point, why not?
Irish whiskey + Eggnog = Whaddaya-lookin无毛视频�-at-or无毛视频檒l-punch-yer-rotted-teeth-out-nog
There无毛视频檚 no better way to drink away your sorrows over past tragedies like fist fighting over the last Cabbage Patch doll on Black Friday in 1983 than this tasty combination of malty oak and liquefied custard. Pairs well with corned beef and a bloodied lip.
Moonshine + Eggnog = White-lightning-nog
Take the searing burn out of gut-wrenching moonshine you got from your cousin, who got it from his second cousin from his wife无毛视频檚 side of the family from 无毛视频渟ome guy who stumbled upon a still near his house in the West Virginia wilderness无毛视频� with the cooling, coating, rich and sugary eggnog. If you don无毛视频檛 go blind from the suspect moonshine or go into a diabetic coma from the eggnog, this drink pairs best with any kind of gamey food, especially reindeer, if you无毛视频檙e feeling festive.
With that, if you want to show off your mixology skills at your next Christmas party and especially if you don无毛视频檛 want to host another party or be invited to another party or have none of your friends and family ever speak to you again, keep this handy holiday hooch guide handy无毛视频nd a barf bag or two.
