Give It A Shot – Two Egg Nogs, One Non-Dairy & One Chocolate
We here at AboutBeverages.com are nothing if not controversial. So in that spirit we are going to draw a line in the sand and say without hesitation.... We like egg nog. Now I know a lot of people like to dismiss this mysterious holiday beverage and I understand. Maybe you don't like the pancake batter consistency. Maybe you are not a fan of the spices that are used. What I am willing to bet is that when you first had some, it was some bargain basement by the gallon egg nog. This is not a fair depiction of what egg nog can be. That's like saying you're not a fan of beer when all you have had is Coors. Today we will not be trying any super premium egg nog, but what we will be trying are slightly unconventional egg nogs. The first will be a non-dairy egg nog and the second will be a more rich, traditional style, but with chocolate. Enjoy!
