My wife is a big Egg Nog fan. Me, not so much. She also made a batch of homemade Bailey's Irish Cream. Pretty easy to make. She uses bourbon, heavy whipping cream, cocoa (I think). Puts it all in a blender. Everybody who tries it loves it. If you want a more precise recipe I will post it.
We like to pour half a glass of egg nog and fill up the rest of the glass with Sprite or 7-up. I don't remember why we started that, but this has been going on for decades. I don't have either of those sodas in the house right now, so I've been drinking egg nog straight.
 
Any particular bourbon? Or substitutes

Whatever your hero liquor is. We used Jim Beam as much because we had it in the house, and it is reasonably priced. When you are adding all the sweet stuff, I don't think the liquor matters much. Bourbon is a little sweeter than Rye or Irish Whiskey, but they would all work. If I was going to use Irish Whiskey I would use Jamison.
 
Homemade Baileys Irish Cream

4 oz Bourbon
8 oz Heavy Whipping cream
2-3 tblspn Hersheys Chocolate Syrup

Put all ingredients in a blender and mix.

Note: Coconut cream is an optional ingredient. 2 tblspn if you use it.

OMG!! Sorry, sorry. Put two eggs in the blender with the other ingredients. My wife was telling me the recipe as she was walking out the door, so I was doing it from memory. :dunno:

The lady is making something today called "Tom & Jerry" batter. It's sounds like it's eggs, powdered sugar, butter, cinnamon and nutmeg and ends up as thick as ice cream. You add a scoop of it to hot water then pour in 2oz of dark rum. I am being told it's like hot eggnog with a kick.

Somewhere I have a Tom & Jerry punch bowl with cups. I always wondered what the drink was like.
