Seriously, this annually is the best free publication you can get. Not to channel my inner Martha Stewart or Rachel Ray, but the recipes are awesome! Not to mention the drink recipes, the gift ideas. Awesome!!!!

Hahaha!

Man that ankle bracelet is tight......

**jonf** · 11-13-2007 05:05 PM

on a related note, does anybody have a recipe for a really good hot buttered rum? (or similarly delicious warm alcoholic beverage)?

**jvincent** · 11-13-2007 05:07 PM

Not hot buttered rum, but I have a recipe for the best Egg Nog you will ever try, period. Once you try it you will never be able to go back to the "plastic nog" that they sell at Loblaws.

**jonf** · 11-13-2007 05:12 PM

I don't think there's a single drink that I enjoy less than egg nog, to be honest.

**jvincent** · 11-13-2007 05:18 PM

That's because you've never had REAL egg nog.

Mine is derived from a recipe I found in a 1940's bar book. Every time I hand it out, it comes back with rave reviews. Enjoy.

8 XL Eggs (Wash the outsides in soapy water before starting)
1 Liter of half and half
3 cups of sugar
2 Tbsp vanilla extract
1 cup rum
1/2 cup amaretto
1/2 cup single malt scotch

Beat the eggs in a big bowl until frothy. Add the rest in whatever order you feel like and blend until mixed.

It's important to use good liquor. Cheap booze kills it.

Add ground nutmeg / cinnamon as a garnish after serving if you like.

**jonf** · 11-13-2007 05:34 PM

Sounds pretty good. I'll have to try it with my folks liquor at christmas. Just curious: why wash the outside of the eggs?

**jvincent** · 11-13-2007 05:40 PM

That's there to satisfy the salmonella paranoid out there. The bacteria can be present on the outside of an eggshell and since the egg nog is "raw" some people get worried. Of course there is enough liquor in it to kill pretty much anything.

**fundonny** · 11-13-2007 06:15 PM

There's a recipe for rum totty (?) in the Food and Drink. You gonna get one, or do you want me to write it out here? Looks tasty! I love hot rum drinks.

**fundonny** · 11-13-2007 06:16 PM

jvincent, I love eggnog, I'll be sure to try that recipe. How long will it keep in the fridge?

Must go to the LCBO and get my copy. I agree with you fundonny that's one of the best free publication with awesome food and drink ideas. I try to pick one up everytime they come out and keep them for future reference. Thanks for the reminder.

It usually get's drunk before it sits in the fridge but I've had it for 2 or 3 days.

Sugar is good for you. So is booze.

They don't seem to have an online version. And there's no LCBO out here. Judging by all the booze-hounds on this board, I doubt there will be any of those guides left by the 22nd of December. So, if you could reach down into that kind heart of yours and post it, i would be eternally grateful.

**fundonny** · 11-13-2007 07:17 PM

Okay, here it is...

The Kentucky Hot Toddy
4 oz apple cider
1 oz bourbon
1 tsp freshly squeezed lemon juice (or real lemon)
1/4 tsp ground ginger
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon

Heat all ingredients, then pour into a heatproof glass or mug. Garnish with lemon or a cinnamon stick.

**fundonny** · 11-13-2007 07:19 PM

I'll post more hot drinks later on. There's some tasty sounding coffee ones!!!

I'm not worried about Jon! I am more worried about you getting into the book and trying out them all out ..... hell, we would have links to every distiller in the world and maybe even some quotes from your good friend who is a master distiller

Hey while you're at it, can you pick me up one too? You can just leave it on my desk, that will be fine.

Nope.........would only bother if it would prove that trying out all the drinks in the book would contribute to the "advancement of Golf in Canada" and to the "Canadian Economy"..........Well One out of two is not bad...........You might just get a link......

**Sakuraba** · 11-14-2007 10:43 AM

My son calls egg nog "Christmas milk".

Thanks for the offer. I think I should pass though. This site already does enough to keep me away from school work. The last thing I really need is more ways to get drunk.

OMG! Match that drink with your turkey and we have a winner for the heart attack of the year?

**jvincent** · 11-14-2007 03:55 PM

Remember the scene in Rocky where he makes the raw egg shake? My egg nog is pretty close to that, except for the booze, sugar, and cream so it must be good for you.
