This Eggnog is the Best Eggnog and it's called Tiki Eggnog!

[@ryanrents126]

As a 39 year old dude most of my peers are into the Bourbon thing and I just can't get that into it. I think I've found my calling with Tiki. Thanks for awesome production quality and approachable information. Your channel will grow- its just a niche not everyone has found yet!

[@CheerfulPessimist686]

Bourbon is so damned overrated. Triumph of marketing over taste. Make mine rye, the original American whiskey.

[@nickgeorge4507]

Was just about to make a rum-subbed morganthaler recipe. Thanks for doing the hard work for me! Can’t wait to try it

[@makeanddrink]

More sherry will get you closer to his style recipes. Best of luck!

[@RyanM7532]

Will definitely be trying out this recipe for Christmas this year

[@krakenknives8005]

I’ve made this 3 times already! Huge hit! I think we need a Hot Buttered Rum recipe next from you. 😊 Thanks for doing this one.

[@jasonkeeney2410]

Just made this tonight. It is off-the-charts good! I made a few minor (i think) substitutions based on what I had on hand that seemed to work: I swapped a dry vermouth for the Sherry, used a turbinado sugar instead of white, and used Hamilton pot-still Gold where you used Appelton.

[@erickLguzman]

I’m so glad you released this video

[@benandrovich112]

Yesss!! Mind reader dude! I was just going to look up some tiki nog recipes so this couldn’t have come at a better time. Plus, I can let it marinate for a week or so, thanks man! Great video! Awesome visuals in this one with the lights in the background

[@makeanddrink]

Thank you much!

[@maxxrosen]

Definitely going to do this this weekend as a make-ahead. Thanks!

[@makeanddrink]

Best of luck!

[@blindlemonlipschitz912]

Looks fantastic! Gonna make this for a party next week.

[@stephane.foisy.186]

Great specs and easy to make in a blender! Will be playing with this for sure.

[@thernsa]

Love the shirt!

[@Game-ib3ql]

Can you make this without the alcohol? Im in AA.

[@lipscbunny8498]

That’s it! I’m finally caving in. Never really loved the idea of drinking raw eggs, but you make it look SO delicious. The Tiki-fied recipe was what won me over.

[@Robbo7089]

Made this tonight, it was awesome. I’ve done the Alton Brown recipe and a few different single serve recipes in the past and while those were all great this was clearly better. I’m tempted to try it with separating the yolks and beating the egg whites first, but doubt it will make a major difference. Got a lot of nog to finish first regardless

[@robertpettigrew9042]

Good to know, I've been making the AB one for years. In fact I still have a 2 yr old bottle aging in my bar fridge!

[@RyanM7532]

For those wondering, I added all of my rum with the eggs because I forgot the warning about possibly cooking the eggs and it did not do anything weird with the eggs and it ended up being smooth and creamy. This recipe is delicious from the little I tasted during bottling!

[@makeanddrink]

Doing gods work for the rest of us. Cheers!

[@janvanamsterdam2821]

tasty!!! just what i needed for the holidays 😁😁🍻

[@million_unalived_CEOs]

I've definitely been in the mood for eggnog lately, and I could very much see myself making this. while this is obviously a slightly different topic (and isn't conducive to aging), but do you have any plans for a video on single-serving eggnog cocktails (or a holiday flip)? I've been doing them as 1-off drinks recently (though having made half a dozen or so now, maybe I should just do a batch) and they've been very tasty and a lot of fun (a milkshake blender is probably mandatory if someone wanted to make them consistently, that much shaking would get old fast).

[@mt3233]

So good and delicious! Don't have a lot of space for different rums so I subbed Lemon Hart 151 for the OFTD. Prepared for a crowd of 6, including someone who doesn't like eggnog, and they all drank it with glee.

[@SamueldeChampagne]

You can pasteurize your cream and egg base to help kill the bacteria first. Find an egg nog recipe with that step and follow everything else as per Derek’s (or any raw egg eggnog).

[@SpotofTeaPlease]

Yes, anyone who has used a double boiler for eggs in baking, like making certain types of frosting, can easily pasteurize the eggs for this recipe, too.

[@davestrachan7314]

Not necessary with the rum in the mix.

[@kevmc21]

Great video as always! I usually make a bourbon eggnog but I want to try this.

[@makeanddrink]

I made a version today using this recipe but with bourbon. Its good, but I am a rum man through and through.

[@kevmc21]

I made your recipe about a week ago. The spices were really up front when I tasted it right away. But now it’s mellowed into a really great drink! Kudos to you. 👍🏻

[@kevin-apemeetsgirl6070]

Love that shirt! Do you have any info on it?

[@makeanddrink]

Reyn Spooner but several years old now.

[@sergisamongas]

As I am watching this video, I am drinking my second glass of homemade eggnog. We do it slightly different, heat cream mix to almost boiling and slowly wisk it into egg mixture. Added dark rum at the end.

[@chrisnelson7987]

Love this channel, love rum, thanks for all your videos, appreciate anything to do rum and tiki drinks. I do have a few questions, where do you purchase your rums in person? And where dis you get your Columbia state park drink coaster? My daughter works at the candy kitchen there and live about 3 mins away, not many places locally to get many of thw finer rums.. we have to travel to the bay area for anything good.. Thanks..

[@royalewithcheese17]

Will make ASAP, adding sherry is a great idea. Gonna add a little salt

[@gabebennett818]

Regarding the proofy rum de-naturing the eggs if added in the wrong order, I can testify that I recently cracked an egg straight into 55%abv rum and the egg whites cooked IMMEDIATELY

[@makeanddrink]

Yeah not wanting to waste rum to try it, but the blender might prevent some of the cooking since it’s mixing the white and the yolk first. But still, not gonna test it.

[@Whitelightening04]

Ok, when is the vanilla ice cream episode coming? It sounds amazing

[@spencergreer526]

The longer the eggnog sits in your fridge the better it gets

[@maitaioneon]

Sounds great. I had better get it made now so it can relax and age a little

[@makeanddrink]

Be sure to make extra. About 64 oz extra. For that Ninja SLUSHi machine you've been eyeing!

[@djslanky]

Made it last year and it was a big hit, so made a double batch last weekend that has been aging ever since 🙂

[@makeanddrink]

That’s exciting!

[@christianbank393]

I already picked up a couple bottles of nog from Trader Joe's this year, but I will definitely be making this next year!

[@fxeditor1138]

I see the Make and Drink Legal department is out in full force on this vid! 😁😁

[@HeyBoz-04]

One could always use pasteurized liquid egg if one is concerned. It's that, or make a custard out of the eggs, dairy, and sugar before adding the booze and flavorings. Or raise your own chickens. 😂

[@WilliamCrump-db7ho]

I think you could tiki-ize it by adding a bit of Planteray's new Cut & Dry. Not too much, just a little coconut flavor.

[@sonicthegt]

This is a lot of how I made my eggnog the last few years minus the sherry. I'll have to give that a whirl.

[@fvb3624]

Hey Derek, quick question, I kind of havea fate memory that you already uploaded this? In case this is a re-upload the ingredients list is missing... but then KZbin started translating titles and descriptions into my mothertoung "german" so it could be also because of that...

[@makeanddrink]

It's an slight update to a KZbin short I made last year. The full recipe is in the episode description

[@fvb3624]

​@@makeanddrink thank you! So it is a stupid KZbin thing and the recipe is swallowed by the auto translation that I can't turn off (KZbin on my phone shows everything nice and clean). Really like your videos and the effort! Thank you for sharing

[@erickLguzman]

You are a scientist

[@0x0404]

The alcohol is why you can go with the raw egg. You do need enough abv, which you covered.

[@SpinalChamp]

Have you done this with yolks instead of whole eggs? Was there much of a difference? I tend to taste more egginess when using whole eggs in eggnog, but haven't tried this specific recipe yet. There's absolutely no allspice dram where I live so I'm waiting on my allspice dram to finish infusing before I can make it.

[@oliverjamesspicer]

Will we get a slushi version please?

[@makeanddrink]

Tune into Make and Drink Frozen tomorrow

[@markavery2991]

Just a heads up the description says 4oz of sherry and in video you say 4.5oz of sherry. Prob not a big difference either way. Can’t wait to make, last years was great too!

[@makeanddrink]

Yeah I think it’s actually 4 and I just said it wrong

[@OnyxBearOnYoutube]

Have you ever tried an Avocado Eggnog served HOT or CHILLED? It's to DIE for 🍹🤤🥑🍹😂🥑

[@chrish7966]

With a sous vide you can get it low enough to just pasteurize the cream and eggs without cooking jt

[@WhoKnowsNose]

Homemade eggnog is so much better than the crap at the store! I made Kevin Kos's banana nog last year and it was a hit👍 Might have to give this one a shot this year. 🎄🎁

[@robbvaneck9153]

this should be bomb as frozen!

[@makeanddrink]

Stay tuned

[@kmart43210]

What blender do you use / recommend for low speed blending like this? Or, alternatively: can I just whisk everything together in a big bowl? (I don't own a blender currently.)

[@makeanddrink]

You can whisk, use an immersion blender, or even a stand mixer. Blender is just easier and faster. This is a Vitamix from Costco

[@superkitsos]

Hello, do you have the measurements for just one or two drinks? Does it worth to make so much?

[@makeanddrink]

I do not. But since it calls for eggs and whole eggs I’d just divide by that. Divide all ingredients by 6 to use 1 egg (will equal 1/6 total recipe), divide by 2 to half the recipe and use just 3 eggs, etc.

[@Schmiddi1406]

Is the recipe written down somewhere?

[@makeanddrink]

Yes in the description

[@Schmiddi1406]

I can't find it. 🙈 I only find the list of oz and ml.

[@ESL_GUS]

How would Licorice 43 work for this?

[@makeanddrink]

Honestly don’t know. For sure will change it. You’ll have to try.

[@mikemcewan1189]

Looks great. Just be aware that like vermouth, sherry goes bad even in the fridge. Quicker than vermouth. Maybe 2 months? It’s disappointing.

[@makeanddrink]

I’ve had a lot of success with my vermouth and sherry in the fridge. 6+ months easily But Morgenthalers recipes call for even more sherry and he keeps batches for several years

[@surfrat8884]

The risk from getting salmonella from egg yolks is negligible. I wouldn’t worry unless you have underlying health issues or a compromised immune system.
