Taste Test: Brits Try Eggnog for the First Time

[@DavidLS1]

American grocery stores sell non-alcoholic eggnog in cartons during the holiday season. People are then free to add their favorite alcohol to it.

[@causticchameleon7861]

Don’t forget the freshly grated nutmeg on top in the glass too.

[@dianaharkin2354]

It's a tradition for me and my mom. We're the only ones in our family that like it, in any form. More for us!

[@alfreddaniel1994]

Liquor stores around the US sell alcohol infused eggnog. I'll be buying me a bottle this weekend.

[@Bad_Meach]

Evan Williams makes two flavors, traditional and new this year Peppermint White Chocolate.

[@manxkin]

Eggnog with brandy or Southern Comfort with a dash of nutmeg on top. Yummy.

[@3DJapan]

I buy it store and I'm happy with that. It's in stores now. The Southern Comfort alcohol actually has their own alcohol free egg nog that they sell in super markets that is really good.

[@joshuamcfadden427]

Just bought some today. Delicious

[@JaneSmith-p8w]

It's ok, but our favorite is Borden's. If you have a Family Dollar in your area, try their house brand egg nog. It's cheaper and quite good!

[@Catherine.Dorian.]

Southern comfort is my favorite eggnog brand. The only danger of buying from the store is one brand looks just like a milk carton… one year my mom grabbed the eggnog instead of the milk for Christmas mashed potatoes

[@thomasmacdiarmid8251]

A friend likes to use it in place or milk/cream in coffee - just this time of year though.

[@Bowhunters6go8xz6x]

Here in the US at Christmas Time you can buy it in the chilled Milk/Dairy section at Grocery Stores and it is actually pretty good.

[@dbk9761]

Love eggnog. So rich.

[@aleatharhea]

I don't like eggnog myself, but I think you did it in exactly the right order, tasting it without the alcohol first and then with the alcohol. If you taste it with the alcohol first, your reaction might be, "that's a really weird taste", because it's all new. But when you can identify the alcohol taste as a separate, additional component, I think you can appreciate it more.

[@jLutraveling]

I love egg nog. Usually without alcohol. I love egg nog French taoaste, Paancakes, and and Egg bog pie.

[@1COMIXMAN]

It's basically uncooked custard.

[@BritishFamily]

I’m happy with that

[@1COMIXMAN]

@BritishFamily my grandma used to make it every year but without the eggs. The original old school recipe called for raw eggs mixed in without cooking. To me it made it too slimy like egg whites. I hate that texture mouthfeel so did my grandma. But you can also put bourbon, scotch, whisky of all sorts or rum in it. For me it was either dark rum or southern comfort booze. That's always the secret bowl for the adults lol . Another thing I'd die just for sure and giggles was put coconut cream in it and it gave it a bit of a Pina colada drink flavor but different because of the spices.

[@Patrick-nv5ug]

It is fascinating that "the colonies" ..in this case America and Canada continue to consume foods, dishes and some customs... that have virtually disappeared in Britain. Eggnog is one of those. Available in grocery stores throughout the country, ready for alcohol to be added. Our family will also serve Steak and Kidney Pie on Christmas morning. As it has done for over 200 years.

[@ironear7748]

I like eggnog both ways.

[@burnout_2017]

Mr. H the golden rule i try to follow is if its not noon then its non alcohol, if its past noon then bring on the alcohol..... Woohoo, im typing this after noon, me so happy. 😊

[@matismf]

Never forget that it is ALWAYS noon somewhere on earth!

[@Bad_Meach]

I bought my son-in-law a bottle of each flavor, Evan Williams Original Southern Egg Nog and Peppermint White Chocolate Egg Nog. The alcohol is already blended into them.

[@efogg3]

Not a fan of eggnog myself but my family is. Very happy that this little British family enjoyed it cheers

[@maryslack6169]

Non-alcoholic Farm Store egg nog

[@shallowgal462]

I LOVE eggnog!!! I always use nutmeg and sometimes I add rum extract.

[@seanpaula8924]

I recently found Almond milk Nog at Aldi. Not bad.

[@mokokawi]

I like eggnog without alcohol

[@rnash999]

I buy it from the store and drink it cold.

[@PaleHorseO.o]

I chug the stuff from the super market like chocolate milk. Bet it is even better homemade. Those moose eggnog cups are flippin iconic!

[@spacehonky6315]

I really like store eggnog sweetened with sugar instead of corn syrup. It's less cloying and sticky. I'm not a huge fan of crazy amounts of nutmeg so i go for Prairie Farms holiday custard when i can find it. Merry Christmas!

[@reginahay5211]

I go to the ABC (Liquor) Store snd buy my alcoholic eggnog premade. It keeps for a long time! My mother made eggnog. You sprinkle the nutmeg and/or cinnamon on top. Just a sprinkle. It is basically thin boiled custard. I like it with Southern Comfort when I buy it at the grocery (non alcohol). Alton Brown starts his in September and gives as gifts.

[@MrMmitch32]

Full on Dairy usually doesn’t agree with me so I’ve tried the alternatives and I must say that I was pleasantly surprised with the Lactaid Egg Nog which is Lactose Free. I typically don’t like Nog to be extremely thick like the Southern Comfort brand so I welcomed thinning it out with alcohol (then I suffered later because it was full dairy). However, the Lactaid Egg Nog has a thinner consistency so I drink it alcohol free and it doesn’t upset my tummy.

[@glassontherocks]

We make Eggnog ice cream made from mountain snow in Oregon USA.

[@8catmom]

Eggnog is too sweet

[@wjm1319]

In my family, we usually cut it half and half with plain milk because it's too sweet otherwise.

[@dannyworten5876]

If you make homemade you can use less sugar if you want

[@JNVlogs8586]

You guys should look on the internet for Coquito recipes. That is out version of eggnog. It is a 10x better puertorican version of it. You should try it.

[@luxleather2616]

I found lactose alcohol free eggnog this year

[@VorchaKali]

I prefer the non alcoholic with a dash of cinnamon on top

[@marksmith4892]

It's not a sin to not like eggnog. I know several people who don't, but I was hoping the H Fam would be crazy about it. I know I am lol LOVE IT.

[@BritishFamily]

It’s no good

[@marksmith4892]

@@BritishFamily you really don't like it? lol if you don't just say so in the video don't lead us on

[@patricialavery8270]

I can drink it without but I prefer some rum in it.Also take a tip from Townsends and grate nutmeg on top of the cupful.Depends on who makes it how strong it is.I had some one time that knocked me on my keester.I think they put some of every bottle at the club in it.

[@oliviarose5030]

My mom has the moose glasses. Her brother got them for her. I’m pretty sure she has yet to use them.

[@russellrofe4849]

Drinking eggnog with alcohol is like pouring alcohol on your pancakes.😂

[@urstruly00]

Love them both. I don’t drink and if I do I like drinks like this

[@martykitson3442]

I usually get 1box from the grocery store each year, drink it with bourbon or brandy I'm good for another year 🥃

[@PAPSN]

It’s an acquired taste. I’ve never liked egg nog and I’m definitely American haha. It’s a 50/50 type thing. Some like it some don’t.

[@digdug7177]

Don't they sell egg now in the supermarkets in the UK?

[@BritishFamily]

No, not in the regular stores, maybe in some speciality shops

[@buffysheffield1328]

No alcohol in my egg nog. Makes for better goodies I get to make stuff with! That being said, my favorite shake is the egg nog shake, second is banana… oh some banana pudding would be really nice about now..

[@MGmirkin]

Yum! I've never had the alcoholic version. Regular's fine by me. Just a nice tasty "holiday" treat once in a while. ^_^ Might just grab a small quart or half-gallon jug at the store and sip on it slowly for a week around the holiday once a year. Very rich, creamy, and sugary. But also smooth and tasty, very easy to sip on.

[@GermanShepherdsRule7042]

No alcohol. I always put one ice cube in mine!

[@allansisson355]

Love it

[@sierrasierrahomepad]

DO YOU KNOW WHAT YOU MUST GET !!!!! YOU HAVE TO GET A LEG LAMP FROM A CHRISTMAS STORY, PLEASE TELL US YOU HAVE SEEN A CHRISTMAS STORY. YOUR IN THE UK, SO YOU WONT SHOOT YOUR EYE OUT 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@jennifer1329]

I saw Publix Greenwise Eggnog last week and had to buy it to try it. I will never buy any other brand again.

[@kaylheecarroll3186]

You'll be having eggnog this Christmas 🎄 ❤😊

[@cmitchell7347]

LOVE egg nog! Haven't had it in ages, however. Can't recall ever having the version with alcohol but doesn't sound appealing. (Never was much of a drinker.)

[@tlyoung1420]

Non-alcoholic Egg Nog❤

[@oliviarose5030]

I still have no idea how I feel about eggnog.

[@BritishFamily]

We love it now

[@oliviarose5030]

@ so does my hubby. But bottled tends to be a bit heavy for him, so he does a 2/3 nog and 1/3 milk.

[@adventuresinmusic2487]

Oh Yes, with just a touch of rum, please?

[@underwriter53]

Only with Bourbon!

[@ruthgeddings1157]

I love eggnog. If any liquor RUM

[@angb6561]

Never had it with rum. Mom always put bourbon in her eggnog. Don't think I'd care for eggnog without booze! LOL

[@dannyworten5876]

It cant have too much nutmeg the more the merrier

[@warrenelkins1861]

Eggnog with just bourbon for me .

[@ellenjones7819]

I prefer alcohol in my eggnog.

[@kristinestein1084]

my brother make a version that will knock you on your @$$! Alcholic of course. But ever so delicious.

[@tinahairston6383]

She's so tiny there!!!

[@angb6561]

Yes she's been looking like a BIG girl....until Daddy just held her! LOL

[@thevnbastid1027]

please toss that brain stabbing stainless steel straw out

[@tosweet68]

Wish the 🎤 was turned off for the actual tasting......
