Can I add alcohol to store-bought egg nog?!
Answers: My friends and I would like to have egg nog with alcohol for our little Christmas party, but I really don't want to make it from scratch (college student). Can I just add alcohol to some that I bought at the store, and how much should I add? Also, which would be better: rum, bourbon, or brandy? I've seen all of these liquors in recipes online.
You can certainly add it to store bought egg nog.
All three spirts can go well in egg nog, or a combination of them. Which one will be best depends on your preference and the egg nog itself.
Sweeter eggnog would probably be best with rum, a more delicate egg nog would be best with brandy, and a flavorful egg nog would be best with bourbon. Experiment with a few small glasses before mixing the whole batch.
add some rum to that. its great. have fun
I think Rum accompanies it the best. Depends on how big the glasses are you are serving it in. If the glasses are like juice glasses, just a splash with do. If they are full serving like 8oz glasses, a half of a shot to a full shot would be good. Depends on how your guests like it.
Just a little side note about store bought egg nog. I hate really thick and sweet egg nog. So we started doing some taste testing on different kinds. Believe it or not the egg-nog made by Lactaid for lactate intolerate people was really good. Not to thick and not too sweet, actually tasted like homemade egg nog.
what ever YOU like , but change it up
Certainly. The type you add is up to you. Rum or brandy is the traditional way.
