Eggnog
This vintage cocktail is literally a thickened alcoholic milkshake flavoured with cognac and rum. Yum!

Much better Egg Nog than the others. Just rich enough, and does not need cream. The rum truly ensures a wonderful, delightful dryness.

Fellow discerning drinkers,
Do you have any suggestions on how to include absinthe in such a marvelous mixture?

I worked hard this year to come up with my own shaken EggNog recipe, since I was tired of making batches of the drink only to find I was the only one who liked it. :) My recipe is similar to this, though I do a dry shake instead of this reverse dry shake you have here (6 in one...). My personal innovation, that adds flavor, and helps with the emulsification is to add a half whole cinnamon stick, and half whole nutmeg nut to the shaker - even for the dry shake. They can be reused too.

What do you think of adding 1/4 tsp vanilla extract? Would you recommend it?

Sure. Or even sub some of the sugar syrup for vanilla syrup.

Rum, cognac, bourbon?

I don't have Havana or Cognac in my drinks cabinet, Captain Morgan's Spiced Rum & Aldi brand Brandy sub in for the others & the drink tastes fantastic to me.

Interesting how the Egg-Nog recipe changes when you log into the Diffords web-site. The "Guest" recipe is Cognac & Rum. When you log in, it becomes Courvoisier V.S. & Diplomatico Reserva Rum.

Hi Chris. When you log-in the brands in recipes change according to what you put in "Your ingredients". If you have several brands of one spirit (e.g. cognac) in Your ingredients then we display the brand you most recently added. If you remove products from Your ingredients then the brand displayed in cocktails revert to our recomendations.
