Ji, here's an easy, but tasty eggnog recipe: 1&1/2 doz. eggs, separated; 2 cups sugar; a fifth of good Bourbon; 2 qts. heavy cream...In a large bowl, beat the egg yolks. Beat in the sugar, bourbon, and cream. Beat egg whites separately untill stiff, then fold into yolk mixture. Chill and serve with a nutmeg garnish if desired.

slimster, you forgot to add the brandy! (grin). Just kiddin......I'm gonna try this one, for sure! jd45

Spiced cider and rum: Used spiced rum, keep cider warm on serving plate, put cinnamon sticks in cider, also add a cinnamon stick to each serving mug, add warm cider then spiced rum. This dangerous drink, you usually won't taste the rum, it will sneak up on you quickly. I am afraid of rum from past experiences, haven't tried hot buttered rum, but do perfer Irish Coffee, made with heavy whipped cream. Take care be responsible.

WOW this sounds great though I think I'll replace the bourbon with Hawaiian rum since it's less expensive than bourbon, think that'll be okay?

Never tried it that way Ji, but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Let us know how it turns out!

Remember in the movie It's a Wonderful Life when Clarence the angel asked for mulled wine at the bar? Well, here is what he was asking for. I got this recipe during a skiing trip through the Italian Alps where the German border is not far away. An excellent cold weather drink that will warm you up after a day of hunting. This makes enough for a party.

Glühwein
Ingredients
4 quarts dry red wine (zinfandel, merlot, burgundy, etc.)
1 pint good brandy
1 cup sugar
6 cinnamon sticks (also keep more ready for stirrers)
12 cloves, whole
1/8 tsp allspice
1/8 tsp mace
2 oranges, sliced 1/8"
1 lemon, sliced 1/8"

Directions
Pour the wine into a large pot and begin heating over low heat. As it begins to warm, add sugar and spices. Stir until sugar is dissolved. Add the brandy. Heat thoroughly, but do not allow to boil because that will remove the alcohol! Add the lemon and orange slices. Steep for about 1 hour over low heat if you can wait that long. You may add more sugar during this time if desired, stirring well so it disolves. Serve hot and garnish with an orange slice (I like to float it on top if it is not too large). A stick of cinnamon can be included for stirring. It is a spicey drink and hard to describe, but I think it is delicious and different.

1 pt of low fat milk
1 pt of vanilla ice cream
1/2 container of cool whip

nutmeg

Stir until ice cream breaks up

pour over spoon full of icecream in your favorite nice glass.

Maybe mix in some kava kava with that eggnog?

My brother in law always talks about the hard cider they had when he was a kid. Anybody have any experience making that?

I was thinking I'd like to make him some for Christmas this year.

[TCB in TN]

Christmas Margaritas

Take 6 - 7 oz Margarita Mix (mix with more or less mix to match your taste)
2 cups ice
2 oz Tequila
1 oz Amaretto
Mix well in blender

Take
1 package of green colored granulated sugar and 1 package of red colored granulated sugar
Pour about 1/2 of each into a soup bowl and mix together lightly.

Put 1/2 inch of water in another soup bowl to use to wet the rim of the glass,dip the rim of the
glass in the mixed red and green sugar, then pour the mixed margarita in.

Makes a very sweet smooth Margarita, with the festive green and red colors.

Maybe mix in some kava kava with that eggnog?

Here in Hawaii kava is known as "'Awa" (pronounced avah), and is making a revival in popularity with 'Awa bars opening up in sevral places as wwell as home consumption. I had a friend who worked of snorkel/lunch tour boat and he grew and made his own 'Awa to share with the visitors onboard. If I was in the harbor when the boat arrived back he would give me a quart of 'Awa brew and it tasted like dirt water but it did give a nice buzz without drowsiness like alcohol does even increasing alertness. I believe several of the new energy drinks have 'Awa as an ingredient. Like I said it tastes like dirt so wouldn't recommend it in egg nog.

I learned tending bar if you wanted a HOT buttered rum, after using the trader vics and rum and hot water float a little "151 RUM" on top. It puts life in the drink.

For Rusty: Making Hard Cider. When I lived in the north we would make a bunch of regular cider. Then let some ferment same as a wine. Then freeze it, usually several gallons in a stone crock. When frozen, we would break up the frozen cider, put it in a clean cloth sack similar to loose weave pillow case. Hang the sack from a tree limb in the sun (still freezing temps.) put a stone crock under the sack when one half of the contents of the sack had melted out into the crock the hard cider was done. Pretty good stuff if right type of apples used to make the cider were used. The modern hard cider sold today leaves a rather nasty hangover. Just the way we did it back then. Good Luck....

WOW Thanks John, just what I was looking for.

This one looks good:

Hot Buttered Rum

2 oz. Dark Rum
1 tsp. Brown Sugar
4 oz. Boiling Water
1 clove
1 tsp. Butter

Pour the Water and the Brown Sugar into an Irish Coffee glass. Stir until the Brown Sugar is dissolved. Add the Rum and the Clove and stir. Drop the Butter on top of the drink, and dust the top of the drink with a light layer of Nutmeg.

Here's a generalized one for hot spiced cider. To your cider add cinnamon sticks( the spice not the candy type),a few whole cloves, few whole allspice berries if you've got them, and some fresh sqeezed lemon juice. Bring to a slow simmer and simmer about 5 minutes. Cool and strain, reheat to a simmer again, not too hot, serve with a piece if cinnamon stick ( again not the candy).

By far the easiest , quickest and without a doubt BEST drink for the "Southern Deer Hunter" to use during deer season , the holiday season and the cold months of the year !

You need a bottle of Jack Daniels "Black Label" and a bottle or can of Pepsi !

Remove the top from both !

Take a healthy gulp from the Jack Black and then a smaller sip from the Pepsi !

PRICELESS

[6pt-sika]

Also if Jack Black and Pepsi are not available the following can be pressed into service !

Bass Ale (British)

Guiness Stout (Irish)

Tsingtao (Chineese)

Kirin Ichibon (Japaneese)

San Miguel (Filipino)

Tanqurey (British)

Sandmen Port (Spanish)

Harvey's Bristol Cream (Portugeese)

Tanduay (Filipino)

And that my good man is about the extent of what I'll pour down my throat !

[6pt-sika]

Ganjiro sorry for not having any answer you actually asked for !

But what I posted was far more fun for me

[Borregos]

Ji -

This one doesn't contain alcohol, though I imagine it would be good with some rum. We like these during the Christmas season - especially did when we lived in Michigan as it was DARN COLD half the year! Not so bad here in South Carolina - but I'd bet it is still a bit colder than Hawaii!

Still, this makes a very nice Christmas season drink - with or without alcohol.

GOLDEN WASSAIL

1 quart unsweetened pineapple juice
1 (11.5 ounce) can apricot nectar
1 quart apple cider
1 cup orange juice
2 (2-inch) cinnamon sticks
1 teaspoon whole cloves
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
Garnish: cinnamon sticks

Combine all ingredients in a large Dutch ovn; bring to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally; reduce heat and simmer 15 minutes. Serve hot (makes 9 cups).

Enjoy!

Hopefully not all in one night. You're like the UN of booze.

[Old Shatterhand]

Punch in my own way

1 bottle of tasty white wine
1 lb sugar
1 lemon, the juice of it
½-1 pint of dark strong rhum - Austrian 80% Strohrhum is a real kicker!

Hot up the wine and melt the sugar in it. Add as much rhum as you like and the lemon juice. Drink it hot a cool evening, or cold to your coffea.

O.K., you asked for it...Artillery Punch-(packs a whallop, but bring the troops, cause this fills up a jerry can!): 1 gal. sweet wine; 1 quart rum; 1 quart gin; 1 quart brandy; 1 quart whiskey; 1 gal. strong tea; 1/2 pint benedictine; 2 lbs. dark brown sugar; 1 quart orange juice; 1 pint lemon juice; 1 lg. bottle maracshino cherries; 3 bottles champagne...combine everything but the champagne about 48 hours before the action...at zero hour, add the chilled champagne and let the shelling begin.

I like taking 2 or 3 shot of Captain Morgans Rum over ice with a splash of "Sugar Free" Hazelnut flavoring syrup (like Torani) I call em a Captain Hazelnut!!
