But I am glad you asked: the flavors are sharp at first, and it takes awhile for them to mellow and marry. Since you asked, I followed my nose back to CHOW and found two helpful tips: 1. an article on why it is okay to use EGGS in making NOG: http://www.chow.com/stories/10224. 2. the original recipe, and a special note that it takes time for the alcohol to mellow: http://www.chow.com/recipes/10758. I hope that helps everyone asking about eggs and alcohol! BTW my sister asked me how I serve it: usually like I serve Bailey's Irish Cream, over rocks and chilled. And then in about 10 minutes when the ice cubes have relaxed just a smidgen, it is perfect sipping. A Toast!! Megan: yes, Eggbeaters is a pasteurized product and would be fine!

Mine is 3 week in and I just peeked my nose in and it's almost completely overpowering. Hey is that bourbon quantity right?

My MIL uses it to make cookie dough, so it's edible (unbaked). The does leave you with egg yolks and whites in the original nog. But it's worth a shot!

I do not seal/sterilize etc. But DO store in the fridge. ALSO: raw eggs are considered a potentially hazardous food, so only make and consume this eggnog (well, all traditional eggnog for that matter) if you are okay with consuming raw eggs. OR buy eggs that are pasteurized. Do consider, homemade mayonnaise has raw eggs as well. Megan: I sterilize via hot water cycle in the dishwasher.

PJs: me too, oh yeah, I just made some and it is in the fridge... Sally: Oh man, yep an oversight. They are raw. Good point. I will have to look into the alcohol thing, to see if it helps (I will ask a chef at school). BTW I cannot WAIT to get my own chickens!!! Sew Mama Sew: thanks for linking to my eggnog!

I have my own chickens, so eat raw eggs all the time, but was surprised to see no mention of pasturization or "warnings". Does the alcohol kill off anything that could cause harm? Just curious! :) Why no worry about the raw eggs? I have my own chickens, so eat raw eggs all the time, but was surprised to see no mention of pasturization or “warnings”.
