Have you ever really looked at what goes into Eggnog? We had a family recipe that involved like a dozen eggs and a bottle of rum. It was pretty good but about 1500 calories per glass. I've even given up on the store-bought stuff. Light eggnog has as many calories, oz for oz, as Jim Fucking Beam. Although mixing the two is delicious.

Know what we do 'round here? Mulled wine. Buy a bottle of manieschewitz, throw it in a pot, and bring it not quite to a simmer with a cinnamon stick, a few allspice berries, a couple cloves and a dash of nutmeg. F'ing delicious.

Gimme a minute, though. I've got cookbooks going back 130 years. Let me find my most outlandish eggnog recipe.
