Oh eggnog. I have had the genuine article, or close enough- so I can offer up a little review of said substance. It's indulgent, like most traditional Christmas holiday stuff and it's usually the kind of thing you serve in at-home parties or a family get together. Understand that store bought eggnog is not complete. It is simply the base prepared for your convenience so don't judge eggnog on that because it would be like judging a cake by tasting the uncooked batter. Done proper (a little less egg and a lot more nog), the dense, creamy texture should firmly hit your lips and nostrils with "spirit", better known as rum vapor, as the velvety smooth and moderately sweet creme buffers the intensity, smoothing over the palate leaving the distinct, and wonderful (in my opinion) essence of nutmeg. If you've ever had a White Russian then it's not far off but this is far more viscous so less likely to get you in trouble. Over indulging in eggnog is akin to eating too much hotel food. Just don't, but you won't because a little goes a long way.
