Egg nog can go so many ways, but tonight the Captain made it happen. For each eggnog we took 2 oz Captain Morgan Spiced Rum and 3 oz Oberweiss Eggnog. Shook the heck out of it and strained into a pretty glass with freshly grated nutmeg and a cinnamon stick.
First thing you need to know, I have every intention of a homemade eggnog before this is over, but with my cousin visiting I had to get the Oberweiss. It simply is the best eggnog I've ever had and I don't even love eggnog. It's so good, that when I visit my family in Michigan (where they don't have Oberweiss) I fill a cooler with glass bottles for my brother. Sure, anyone in Illinois knows that we shouldn't give Oberweiss our money - bad politics and whatnot. But the dairy is SO GOOD. I try to vote with my dollars so I only splurge on this guilty pleasure in the month of December.
Next thing you need to know is that grated nutmeg is greater than ground nutmeg. Get yourself a nutmeg grinder and buy whole nutmeg. It makes your cookies and oatmeal and eggnog all so much better.
