I don't know how true this is for other people, but I can only ever vaguely think of what eggnog even tastes like most of the year, but that's mostly because when I do try it, I remember that I really don't like it. And yes, this is satire.
Eggnog is goddamn delicious, at least with bourbon in it. My problem is that a glass of eggnog with bourbon in it has more calories than a glass of bourbon and two eclairs, so I never drink eggnog anymore. If it's around I will splash it in my coffee.
I've never really been one for putting booze in the stuff, but good God do I love a glass of egg nog. For best results, serve with way too much cinnamon on top and a mincemeat tart or two.
Just last year my XMas time standard has become Cabot Trail maple syrup cream liqueur from the Eastern Townships. I have yet to give it to anyone that did not love it. Over ice, in coffee or on ice cream. mmmmmm
