Yeah, and the water is optional, and in a pinch you can lose the glass, too. In fact, an ideal Christmas would be a fifth of Jack, a dark room, an "It's a Wonderful Life" DVD, and hold all my calls.

In the end I stayed traditional and added a shot of the dark run I picked up last year at the distillery in Nassau. But I was sorely tempted to try adding Kona Coffee Liquor. Night's still young, I might still.

Back when my sister and I were single digits, we received a kids cookbook for Christmas. Since the eggnog recipe involved no actual cooking (no stove anyway) and required only ingredients my mom always stocked, we were allowed to make it at will. I developed quite an eggnog habit well before I reached the legal drinking age. Or the illegal age at which I started.

Kipper - Your comments indicate you aren't familiar with some Caribbean traditions at the holidays.
Rum & eggnog is a good tradition in some Caribbean households during the holidays. Add cinnamon and/or nutmeg. Make it as strong or light as you wish for sipping (not getting overly drunk).
Alternatives which are more difficult to make is 'Coquito' which is even richer in fat content but the same principles.

I have never had an egg nog, is it typically american?
I would love to try it. Maybe I will look up a recipe and make an egg nog. But consuming raw egg is not very common here in my country due to everybody being paranoid about salmonella. Wile I would drink it my self, I would not serve it to others.

I was surprised to read that making it with a sufficient alcohol content and refrigerating for 3 weeks will render it safe.

Advocaat is so thick you eat it with a spoon. You can't call it a beverage anymore.
