My first time ever making egg nogg. Made it for my very first holiday party and will continue to make it for years to come. Used Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum. I got so many great comments and the batch was perfect for about 40 adults.

This recipe is awesome. I had to make an extra batch because my friends loved it so much. I now live in England where, believe it or not, they are not as accustomed to eggnog as Americans. They thought it was amazing!!! And guess what, none of the more than 3 dozen people who enjoyed it with me got sick in any way whatsoever! We now live in a fear driven society, and so some of us therefore miss out on so much great stuff!!

Is it weird that I feel patriotic drinking this? And the amount of alcohol in the recipe really says something about our founding fathers. Anyway, awesome concoction! Instead of using 2 one-gallon milk jugs I let my batch brew in a large stock pot. It was a little harder to shake, but it did the trick.

We followed the recipe exactly, but what came out of the fridge for our party smelled of rotten egg and was horrendously unpalatable. I'll not be trying this one again.

Do not sample while making. My husband had to take the bowl away from me.

Save yourself some time and just make a double batch to begin with. Put 1/2 out for guests; hide the other 1/2 for yourself. When I offered this to my guests on Christmas Eve, the whole batch disappeared before I even had dinner on the table. It's fabulous!

I haven't tried this recipe either, but I didn't think it was fair for someone to leave a 1 star review when they didn't try it, just because the recipe calls for raw eggs. The fact is, the chance of getting salmonella from eating raw eggs is 1 in 30,000. And actually, in a healthy human body, salmonella can't do any harm. Most of us have some small amount of salmonella introduced into our systems all the time. In a healthy body the salmonella is controlled and killed by healthy intestinal flora in the gut. It's a shame people don't get their facts straight before posting a review of an untried recipe, leaving 1 star and ruining the overall rating. Happy Holidays (and try not to drink 30,000 eggs-worth of eggnog)!! :o)

I just made this today after reading many different recipes over the past week. It was a joy to make and the little test taste I took was good, I will update after Christmas (2 weeks) when we drink it!

I've been making this recipe for many Christmases now and every year, I have to make a bigger batch. Even people that claim to hate eggnog, or hate liquor, love this stuff. In fact, I just got my first request for it this season!
