I love egg nog and I can't say I have ever looked at a recipe but I have a question. How are the raw eggs safe to consume? I am not being a smartass I am genuinely curious

I've been looking for a good eggnog recipe for a while. I might have to try this! How long will it last in the fridge if I am making it ahead of time?

@4:37. You can pasteurize the eggs first. You heat them to a certain temp and then cool them back down. I did this last year when making a homemade mayo- just to be safe.

You don't need to. There is so much alcohol in there it doesn't do anything. It keeps fine for a week or so.

The drink is deceptive. Do not spike it as a friend did a couple of years ago. Her friends thought it was too weak and needed some boost. So.... they poured a bunch of bourbon in it til they got the taste they like. Big mistake. Her husband said it was the worst hangover he ever had. Just think of the old hurricanes. Tasted like koolaid til BOOM!

Powdered sugar? Maybe honey, maple syrup, which would contribute to "thickness" of the egg nog.

If you heat an egg to high temp, it will turn rock solid within 19 seconds.

I take the easy way out. Just buy good egg nog at the grocery, then add KF's bourbon, brandy and the Tia Maria and enjoy. Don't waste your money on high shelf bourbon. My mother made this from 10 year old Charter. I prefer Buffalo Trace or Makers. Either way, it definitely gets the job done without the mess.

This seems like a decent recipe for eggnog. I'd like to share mine for those whose tastes in cocktails don't run to so much egg, dairy, and sugar:

Obtain a very nice tumbler, crystal preferably, and it is best if it fills the hand but not overly so.

Pour into that at least two fingers of really, really good whisky - not "whiskey," whisky, i.e., Scotch. Single malt or really nice blended, your drink, your choice.

Think of eggs or chickens or cream or cows, if you so desire, but by no means add any of those things. Or ice. A splash of water, flat or sparkling, as you wish.

Drink. Repeat as the situation dictates.

Kingfish, you said the old hurricanes. I had forgotten that drink until I read that. Strangely, my whole body just stuttered and I squinted from the pain. Oh I remember those.

Hi. Just me, Ol' Funkiller here. Please drink responsibly.

I drank some of Kingfish eggnog. Wow! Started flirting with my wife ugly girlfriends.
Had to spend the next 3 nights in the Chicken Coup!
Thanks Kingfish!

Some people are trying to trash my recipe in the comments. Happens every year and as usual, they don't get approved.

Alternative cocktail recipe poster above here - I'm not a big eggnog drinker (I'll have a small glass or two over the entire holiday season and enjoy that small amount) but I think you ought to approve the would-be trashers. Your recipe seems well within the reasonable spectrum of eggnog recipes so it might be amusing for the sane folks to read what must be pretty goofy comments.

"Here's my recipe for scrambled eggs: 1. Get eggs, 2. Scramble them, 3. Cook them, 4. Eat them"

"WHAT?! You call that 'scrambled eggs?!' What kind of liberalcommiepinkoGOPMAGA supporter puts fuckin' EGGS in scrambled eggs?! Besides, my brother's girlfriend's cousin read on FaceTokGram that even a single egg has enough closetatroll to kill 47 people AND a cabal of Satan-worshiping Federal Reserve Bankers raise all the chickens anyway! Plus chicken farts are the prime source of whorehouse gases and those punch holes in the prozone layer! Don't you listen to Alex Jones? He was talking about eggs, Satan, and how his instant breakfast smoothies contain nothing but 100% pure spring water! That's right, no floridadation to make your precious bodily fluids all commie! Don't let Satan-worshiping bankers ruin your breakfast and steal your manly essence!"

This is the BEST recipe for egg nog. Hands down better than anything you can buy and I use Kahlua because it’s easier to get. I make 3-4 batches a year and have for many years. F the naysayers cause they don’t mean a thing….. Dpnt knock it til you try it.

I've dodged making KF's recipe for years because I'd get fat and drunk. This Christmas, I no longer care about any of that, so bottoms up!

Happy holidays, everyone!

On the positive side, it cannot make you any more stupid than lesser cocktails, so no worries!

It is never time to get drunk and you should be ashamed.

Is the 24hrs a key step or will it still be ok chilled for only 10-12hrs? Also, do you sprinkle in some nutmeg or cinnamon once poured?

Lighten up, Francis.

The recipe looks interesting, but the headline certainly is not. Sorry, not cool.
