Can I ask for a Christmasy Tiki Drink for all your fans that say Mele Kalikimaka to you. Mele Kalikimaka is the thing to say, on a bright Hawaiian Christmas day. That's the Island's greeting that we send to you, from the land where palm trees swaaaay. Here we know our Christmas will be green and bright. Sun to shine by day, and all those stars at night. Mele Kalikimaka is Hawaii's way to say a Merry Christmas to you!

Love that film. I remember when I was a Teacher's assistant in high school and my teacher decided to show it one day where we had a double class day (a two hour class rather than the usual one hour class) just before Christmas. Our class room was in the science building and was linked to all the other classrooms with a open breezeway/lab area. My desk was right by the breezeway and I could hear all the surrounding classrooms go quiet when Clark starts his rant about his bonus. At the end when he says "where's the Tylenol?" I hear all the surrounding rooms burst in to luaghter. To this day that is one of my favorite memories from high school.

[@knight8825]

That's nice.

[@VoidOneGamer]

They showed us the movie in middle school for some reason or another, in the auditorium. It was the censored version of course, which I get but my family watched that movie annually growing up, and to me it felt like a bit was missing lol

[@numberyellow]

It's because his channel is literally all about alcohol, and the consumption thereof... KZbin can't outright ban him, because he hasn't broken the rules....yet.. (give them time. Soon, channels like this will be a violation of TOS) So, because they can't just ban him, they bury his channel, so as few people as possible see it. This is how KZbin suppresses content they don't like.

@@ramaya007 i assume you mean all this COPPA shit.. That's not what will eventually kill this channel.... eventually, KZbin will work in additions to their TOS, that will ban not only this kind of content, but any content they don't like. it's only a matter of time.

If anyone is wondering it makes about a half gallon you can double it in a kitchen aid mixer and it just barely fits, and fits in a gallon pitcher. Love this recipe

[@darthplagueis13]

Alternatively, add two and a half cups of flour, about half a cup of chocolate chips before integrating the egg whites and you can then bake this in order to get a pretty decent cake.

[@howtodrink]

Pretty much!

[@btrenninger1]

Or fold in 8 oz of melted chocolate ditch the bourbon add some vanilla, chocolate mousse.

[@purplealice]

Townsends just posted a recipe for 18th-century eggnog, which is actually pretty close to this - you even got the nutmeg right. Eggnog is pretty much an uncooked custard that you drink instead of eating with a spoon.

[@howtodrink]

Pretty much! Gotta check out that @townsends video though

[@omanafire]

I could not find an eggnog video from townsends.

[@TJ-bg4fw]

Im here I'm here, i just had to finish Babishes video. Jokes aside, love this movie and love your videos. You've nailed it again Greg!

[@EliseLogan]

a note on folding in the egg whites. If you do it by hand and just mix in about 1/4 of the egg whites to "lighten" the nog, then fold in the rest, it will integreate much more smoothly and quickly. Also, for a variation on this, do the not-egg-whites portion of this (hold out the alcohol) as a cooked custard, allow it to cool completely, then add the alcohol and fold in the egg whites, you get a much thicker, almost ice-cream textured cooked custard eggnog. ETA: The best carton/store-bought eggnog I've tried is the Organic Valley Eggnog. It's still not as good as homemade, but it's a huge improvement over other store-bought options - and since it doesn't try to approximate the rum/bourbon aspect much, you can spike it and end up with an even better approximation.

[@dantesabbath2107]

"And if you celebrate the black mass of baphomet, uh, ill be there too whatever you're into" this is why youre one of my favorite youtubers greg

[@maxst2]

I have a story to tell you. So I was in a speakeasy in Omaha,NE - The White Rabbit, After sampling a few from their list I asked my bartender is she could make me an egg nog, the one that you showcased last year. The gal was rather happy to make a custom order and had some fun while doing so. At the end she sampled it and was rather pleased with the recipe and thanked me for asking for it since it was rather random and not too common someone asks for custom order like this... and the end result was rather tasty. Cheers and happy

[@MercenaryPine9]

I LOVE this recipe! I’ve been making this every Christmas season for the past four years. It has amazing memories attached to it for me. I first made it with my uncle in my grandpa’s house. My grandpa passed this year. I made it just now in honor of both grandpa and passing this semester. Rest in peace, Grandpa. Merry Christmas, and I hope you continue to watch over me and the family and guide me as I try to pave my path in life. ❤️

[@greeny3013]

I'm surprised you did this one! Then again, I woke up this morning with my head sewn to the carpet.

[@BrokeMoFo]

WHY DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THIS GUY SOONER!!! I've only recently found this guy and have been on a BINGE to beat the ages watching the drinks be made! "and on a bit of a bender in the process"... *hic* THANKS!

[@TheMeanDM]

I made Alton's aged nog a few weeks ago. I used Wild Turkey 101, Appleton Estate Jamaican Rum, and some Hennessy. A damn CUP of each! Got to say....it is amazingly tasty even fresh...can't wait to try it for Christmas!

[@ianrasmussen5380]

Made it as well after Thanksgiving. Waiting to get home from school, hoping it's still in the fridge when I get there. Correct in believing the egg whites aren't used, right? Felt a bit weird without them. Wish I could remember what alcohol I used. Nothing fancy, though bottle of Jamaican rum I got was not subtle in taste. Can't wait to see what is like after it has aged.

[@TheMeanDM]

@@ianrasmussen5380 Yep. No whites used. I was zurprised too!

[@Brew78]

Yup. Got an AB nog aging in the fridge as we speak! (Well, what's left of it anyway). The Jamaican rum does give it a very specific flavor kick, that sort of molasses/raisin vibe that somehow really complements the bourbon and brandy (I ain't rich enough to be using cognac in a nog!)

[@TheMeanDM]

@@Brew78 I had never had Cognac before and Hennessy was the only brand/name I recognized. I got a small bottle for like...$18 I think it was. Enough for the cup with maybe another half to 3/4 left over.

Greg, I made this eggnog today, and I sipped a tiny bit before putting it in the fridge to age it before Christmas. Honestly, it tastes *so* much better than the stuff you buy in a carton. Thank you! And if I die from salmonella, I promise I won't haunt you.
