Cookout has a great eggnog shake. Sadly, the season will pass before they open in Roanoke.

I bought a thing of the Evan Williams egg nog, and now it’s gone. Gee thanks, Scott A.

After this article I had to go out and buy some eggnog. I bought Fresh Market brand. I’ve not tried there’s before….I loved it! It’s not so thick and has a mild flavor. I had it plain and with brandy and also used it in my coffee as creamer. Very good!

Years ago eggnog was only available during the Holiday season. Before the end of the season I would put a quart in the freezer. About the middle of July I would get it out and let it thaw. Then I would usually proceed to drink the whole quart. Now that’s what I call Christmas in July!!
One Christmas season my sister gave out samples of Pet eggnog in one of the local grocery stores {our dad worked for Pet Dairy}. Even today to her the only eggnog fit to drink is Pet eggnog.

My favorite memories of egg nog are of having it fresh, right after my father-in-law made a batch on Christmas Eve. I loved that stuff, but drank from the “kid’s pitcher,” because I didn’t like the booze in the adults. I’ve never tried a store bought version that I liked. It’s too thick and the flavor just isn’t quite right.

Evan Williams makes a great Egg Nog that is available seasonally at ABC stores. They usually sell out well before the Christmas holidays. It has the best blend of bourbon, rum and either scotch or brandy. Best store bought spiked egg nog I’ve ever been able to find. Chill it, pour in a punch bowl, fold in some whipped cream and and spinkle with a little nutmeg or pumpkin pie seasoning!

I enjoy the powder type (if I can ever find it in the grocery) with 2% milk. It makes it a lot thinner and more drinkable.

I like eggnog! Don’t drink much of it, no one else in the house likes it. I don’t care for it “spiked.” Scott & Ellie’s Ice Cream Parlor in Salem has Homestead Creamery ice cream. Don’t know if they have it this year or not but I got some delicious eggnog ice cream there a year or two ago, was just there thru the holidays. Arby’s “shake of the month” used to be eggnog in Dec., and they were really good!
