Please share this one.

Agreed! Please share any good eggnog recipes.

 

[Irish]

0.5 oz Luxardo

Assuming this is their maraschino cherry liqueur? (they have a bunch of different flavors)

Yes. Sorry I didn't specify.

 

[Schmendr1ck]

Please share this one.

But of course!

Instant eggnog!

2 oz high proof bourbon (I used WT 101)
1 oz amaretto
0.25 oz rich simple syrup (or 0.5 oz regular SS)
1 egg

Mix and dry shake about 15 seconds, then add ice and shake just until chilled - don't over-dilute!

Strain into a glass and add milk or half-and-half to taste. Top with freshly grated nutmeg.

Yeah, this is the stuff.

Yeah, this is the stuff.

A couple of notes:

• I used 1.5-2.0 oz whipping cream in this one. Adjust to taste with heavy cream, half and half, or whole milk, but it will be way too thin with anything less.
• This is a rich and decadent cocktail, but it is not the super-sweet, thick-as-pudding store bought eggnog that coats your mouth for hours.
• Don't skimp on the whiskey, as it is very forward. WT101 works well for me; I wouldn't use anything less.

I'm a bit late in the season, but I'm having my first eggnog today.

I'm trying Greg's (How To Drink) recipe:

2 oz bourbon (WT101 for me)
1 oz cognac
0.5 oz Luxardo
0.25 oz rich simple syrup
1 egg

Dry shake, add ice and shake again, serve up and add milk/cream to taste (I added 2 oz heavy cream).

It's good and I'm enjoying it, but I think I like my amaretto variant better.

Ignore this - I posted before reading all other replies...

OK - real question. Could this be made up in quantity in advance to take to a party? Any suggestions or changes? Could I just do the first dry mix part of the recipe, then chill the mix for a couple hours? Then pour into a thermos to take to the party?

This recipe should scale up just fine, but unless you've got a GIANT shaker and Popeye arms, in quantity you might want to make it with a stand mixer or electric egg beater. I would suggest beating the eggs first until pale yellow, then turning down to low speed and mixing in the other ingredients.

If you plan to share with others, you could keep the dairy separate and mix to taste when serving. Or just throw it all in a thermos, that's fine too. Bring a nutmeg grater, though - none of that pre-ground sawdust! (If you must, grate it at home right before you leave and put it in a small container. I will forgive you.)

Make sure it's good and cold, and give the thermos a few shakes before serving. I don't know if it will separate; mine are never around long enough to find out.

Not quite a Paloma but pretty good

This hit the spot:
Old Bangkok: Bulleit 95 Rye, Thai Tea, bitters, garnished with orange peel

The Thai Tea really works

I'm no aficionado, but I love the Bulleit Rye and can't get it anywhere I tried Rittenhouse but it had a bit of a smokey taste to it which I didn't like, and today I tried Woodford reserve rye which is more in line with Bulleit - Amaro Manhattan:

Looking forward to slowing working my way through this

Let’s start with the basics.

After probably too much practice on eggnog cocktails, I've got one more important hint.

Don't wait to add the dairy to the glass. Instead, dry shake without it, then add the dairy with the ice before shaking again to chill.

This aerates, chills, and mixes the dairy, and the drink is both lighter and richer at the same time.

Do it.

Really appreciate all the tips, this is fantastic! Homemade whip cream too courtesy of the wifey.
