What does eggnog taste like?

Anonymous
I've never had eggnog. In the kind you get in cartons at the grocery store, what does it taste like? Does some varieties actually have egg in it?

If I want to try eggnog for the first time, is there any particular brand/style you recommend?

Throw caution to the wind and spend $3 on a quart of it. Don't get too crazy now.

Buy one of the organic ones. The others are crap with bad ingredients. Go to Whole Foods and buy the one in the glass bottle in the dairy case.

I think it tastes kind of like melted french vanilla ice cream with cinnamon in it

That's a really good description. Rich and creamy mouth-feel. Cinnamon and other spices. I do think the organic ones are better.

Ugh tastes like heaven. Just buy some and try it!

I know it's shocking to some people, but I don't like to waste. It's not the $3, but don't like to just spend and buy stuff that may mostly end up in the trash.

Then try a cup at the next Christmas party you attend. Don't be so dense and rigid. Live a little.

OP, buy some and if you don't like it give it to a neighbor or someone at work.

I tried one in a cardboard box at WF, it tasted awful. Will try to glass bottle next time.

I love it, but it is really fattening. I try to limit my intake.

I like it, but I buy the teensy one serving size at the grocery store. It fills my craving without me gaining a lot of weight.

It tastes great. 4 ounce glass, one ounce eggnog, 3 ounces of bourbon. After about 4 of those you'll think it's the best thing since chocolate.

Never drink and drive. The above is for home use only.

Tastes like custard but runny. The ones sold in the store should not have raw egg in it, but the recipes to make it yourself will have them. If you have it at a Christmas party it will probably have alcohol in it.
