I would have thought that was a good thing. No?

Conceptually, yes - it’s an unhealthy drink so of course it’s good not to find it appealing anymore. But it’s also a drink I have maybe twice a year (Christmas eve and Boxing Day) and very much enjoy as part of a broader tradition of sitting in front of a fire with family while pine scents the air and the kids are conked out in their pile of toys and we’re all cozy and happy. This single, long-savored glass of nog was going to be my stand-in for gorging on stocking contents and dinner!

Is it good? Reviews are mixed - some love it, some don’t. It’s an acquired taste, a sweet, spicy, creamy, alcoholic drink. Thicker than Bailey’s, but that same sort of blend of cream/booze/flavor stuff. It’s so rich that drinking it over a long time is advised. I HATE that I don’t enjoy it anymore!

Bihhh ... time to hack eggnog !!! Anyone know what the basic flavors are? I bet there is a way to make it with a protein shake....

I make it "cheaters low carb" all the time.

1 pck SF Vanilla Pudding

Fairlife FF Milk or Vanilla Premier according to package instructions.

Extra vanilla

Freshly grated nutmeg

And your favorite alcohol

Extra FFF Milk to thin it down to your desired consistency

Whipped Cream in a Can (ReddiWhip)

You blend it all together and top with whipped cream.

You can also pour some of it (sans alcohol) in ice cube trays then use them to blend up in the ninja for ice creamy drinks of the EggNog persuasion.

I just got the makings for this yesterday. It's one of Mr. F's yearly treats!

Reverse peer pressure.

I fully intend to make everyone around me better, by proximity. I actively work to get people to try new alternatives, but not in a pushy condescending way. I just figured why not treat other like I treat myself. I like the best, I won't buy myself VOSS water and get you a Dasani, IJS.

Thoughts?

Very positive outlook. However, feel free to get me a glass of tap water. I have an unrefined palate! ?
