I don't enjoy mine spiked. Mine is "UNLEADED"...
There are companies that make it with a great flavor, and there are companies that don't have a recipe worth a darn. In most cases, you can improve the flavor with a dash of nutmeg, but some require a whole bottle of ground nutmeg, and it's still not very good. Rev, in your area, try the eggnog off the shelf at any KWIK TRIP. Theirs is generally one of the better brands. And, if you don't like it, save the rest for me.
What ever brand they had at the Flying J in Des Moines, IA, I won't bother with theirs. Dean Foods has a good flavor too. Even if I do not like the rest of their milk products. Here in FL, T. G. LEE is one of the more popular brands of milk, but their eggnog isn't.
On a side note. I do have a recipe for "HOMEMADE EGGNOG", and it's very good. However, I only do that one if I need a laxative. When you make your own out of raw eggs, you run the same risk of getting sick from the... Is it "SALMONALA"?? If I drink homemade, in 24 hours, or less, I'm no longer full of sh$t...:lol::lol::lol: But, once it's been pasturized, I no nonger get that effect.
