How my aunt made me become an eggnog addict.

My aunt does not drink anymore and she does not keep liquors in her house except for a not very good bottle of wine to open for visitors. But she makes with her own hands eggnog, the drink that we usually have for Christmas and that now is sold made by vineyards. The bought eggnog is awful. I tried it and swore it would be my last. But then, when I started visiting my aunt, she gave me the eggnog she makes. She told me that she made it all though the year. The first time I went, I drank a glass, the second time it was two glasses and my aunt told me to take a nap while she did the dishes. I obliged. After that, she sent me home with a bottle. I have given some to my friends, but now I´m mylotting with a glass of it by my side. My aunt´s recipe has coffee. Maybe that is why I love it so much. Do you like eggnog?

Eggnog with coffee - never had that but sounds good! We've only had the bought eggnog - the kids like that (we don't put any liquor in it of course). Homemade must be delicious!

I am not a fan of eggnog, but I like homemade "Cremoncello" a lemon liquor with dairy cream. That was my mom's favorite.

@marguicha I do not like liquors with coffee. In Italy it was a common custom to add grape liquor to the espresso coffee after lunch, I have never liked the taste.

I love store bought eggnog. Your aunt's sounds amazing! I have never heard of eggnog having coffee in it.

Have never tried any that I can drink, too much like milk, which I don't like. But coffee is a different story.

@KristenH What kind of eggnog do you get with no spices? It has many delicious things like clover, cinnamon and other spices.
