Christmas Eggnog Taste Test

Last night I was going to pick up several bottles of egg nog for a taste test after dinner along with the Saturday Night Live Christmas Special.  In the end I stopped at Costco prior to the liquor store and they still have Pennsylvania Dutch Egg Nog on the shelves. At under $12 for 1.75 liters it's a steal and the alcohol is already mixed in.  This brand is thick and creamy and has a smooth flavor with brandy, rum, and whiskey providing a nice kick of about 30 proof.

That's great if you're drinking with family but if the holidays for you are more like the Griswolds and less like White Christmas, I recommend adding a little extra to the mix.  I don't have any brandy so I added a bit of Maker's Mark and Captain Morgan and topped off the whole concoction with a bit of nutmeg.

Only two things would have made this drink better...

1) Drinking it out of a moose mug like Clark's from Christmas Vacation, now available from CanadianMoose.com, but sadly not in time for Christmas this year.

2) Drinking it with these girls... I don't think they are from Pennsylvania.
