I like it. It's rich, but it's really good with Kahlua in it.

I love eggnog, but I rarely drink it. It is an acquired taste. It's also good with brandy in it.

I don't like the eggnog one buys in a carton. I do like homemade eggnog, though. It takes a bit of doing, but it's worth it.

I can only drink it if I pour a bunch of milk in it to thin it out (I don't drink milk often either). My son really likes it, so I'll buy it during the winter for him. I should learn how to make it.

I'm fussy with my eggnog. I love the eggnog from our local dairy but won't drink the stuff you can buy in the grocery store

I thin it out with 2% milk as well, about half and half.

I used to like it, but can now only tolerate the low fat versions of it. Otherwise it is too thick and sickeningly sweet for me.

I liked it when I was a kid. I probably haven't drank it since I was a kid though, so I'm not sure I'd still like it.

Dad used to buy really high quality stuff and pour booze in it. We just drank it straight as kids and liked it a lot; it reminded me of liquid cheesecake, or melted ice cream. DH gets a carton every Christmas, but I've sort of moved away from it and just drink it opportunistically. That doesn't say much though, since I'll eat/drink pretty much anything if it's laying around

I like it, but I thin it out with brandy, or rum.

I like eggnog. Really like it. Especially with rum or Baileys.

There aren't a lot of things I miss about eXH, but his homemade eggnog is one of them. Rich, creamy and delicious. Garnished with freshly grated nutmeg.
I still like eggnog from one of the few local dairies remaining, but only if cut with a copious amount of rum. Just not the same.

I make homade eggnog every New Years Eve. Any more often than that and we would need an exersize program to go with it. I only tried the store bought versions a couple of years ago and didn't like it much. That is probably a good thing for my weight though.

Maybe have someone who knows what it should taste like check it?If it smells like sour milk it probably had gone bad. It should smell a bit sweet like fresh whipping cream and just a bit spicey like nutmeg.
I like the commercial stuff in my coffee and agree that it is much better with rum, brandy and/or whiskey. In fact, I have been known to sip on my spiked eggnog coffee all Christmas Day - lol!
Have an old family recipe that is really good but takes forever to make and boy does it pack a whopper of a punch due to the amount of brandy and rum in it. My aunt made it one Christmas Eve after I was an adult and al took a nice nappy nap before dinner that year.

I've never had it with rum or brandy since I was a kid when I drank it. Now I know to add a lil something to "help" it if I try it again and don't like the taste of eggnog by itself.

Is this grocery store egg nog on liquor store egg nog? DH buys the liquor store version and drinks the whole bottle himself during the holiday season. He does say he adds "something" to it, which is probably some Jack Daniels.
I wouldn't waste my $$$ on the grocery store version. I had it as a child and thought it was pretty awful.

DH loves it and I like it too but we are both watching our weight.
I was going to make rum balls but there isn't enough rum left. I wonder if it went into the eggnog. . . . Hmmmm. . . . .

Yes. Every few years I will take a few sips of eggnog. It costs me more than I want to pay though. It's way too rich for the body.

O.K., I'm the odd "man" out here but I really like the grocery store kind - I can't tolerate it with booze in it, though, I just like it straight out of the carton.

Nope, my husband is with you on that. He likes the grocery kind. In fact, it's the generic grocery kind. As for me, there is not enough booze on planet Earth to get me to drink it.

I don't particularly like eggnog. But I will have homemade Eggnog with a sprinkle of nutmeg and a shot of rum (or brandy or whatever homemade non-beer/wine alcoholic thing you have). I went to a party with a lot of SCA folks attending - and there as home made eggnog and mead and other stuff there that was really good!
For storebought eggnog I thought the Oberweis Eggnog was OK and I also had a small carton of some 'organic' brand from Whole Foods that wasn't too bad. Dean's Eggnog was like drinking chemicals to me.
Also, eggnog really needs the sprinkle of nutmeg AND a bit of alcohol in it... that's how the people in the holiday movies are most likely drinking it.
One Last Thought - I have just read the "Little House On the Praire" books and in one of them Egg Nog is sent out to the men working in the fields in the mid summer heat! They have it for lunch! I think it's Ma Ingalls who makes it for Pa Ingalls and the Frenchmen who are helping with the fields. I just kept thinking OMG I'd barf if I had to have eggnog (even if it was frosty cold) while working in the heat of summer.

Ohh, I sometimes wonder if the movie beverages are Tom and Jerry's and not Eggnog.... - it's an alcoholic hot beverage.

I tried it when I was young and did not like it. Maybe I should give it another go now that I can spike it.

I grew up liking it but they say we shouldn't have raw eggs so I haven't made it in 40 years. I don't like it with alcohol and tasted store bought once and hated it.
We didn't use cream only milk so ours was much thinner and tasted good and fresh.
