Tastes like eggs and nutmeg; not a fan. You could try making a small batch at home.

The lesser quality bigs have a weird mouthfeel due to the thickening additives they use. Real egg nog from scratch is whipped until airy and light so it's kind of like drinking a cinnamon-scented creamy cloud. Trickling Springs nog is probably the best store bought variety but has more of a thick smoothie texture, like drinking a melted vanilla milkshake. The alcohol does help to balance the creaminess though extra nog tastes great in coffee and makes an excellent base for bread pudding, even ice cream.

I was wrong about this. Went to the store today and they all have raw egg

So they are not ok in pregnancy? NP here and i never tasted it before but it sounds delicious. Do you think one from Starbucks would be ok to try when 9 months pregnant?

It tastes like sweet nutmeg flavored mucus unless you make it yourself and then it is sublime.

This is a great recipe:
