    OMG! If you follow these direstions properly, you will have a little taste of Heaven that will warm your soul!! Creamy and smooth with a nice, warm kick!! Our family used them for shots, as they do throw quite a punch!! Great holiday drink!!

    Overall I really like this recipe but I actually prefer Martha Stewart's alcohol combination better which is bourbon and then dark rum and cognac as opposed to brandy in emeril's recipe. Might just be personal preference but I think the dark rum and cognac go better with egg nog than brandy. Be careful though - Martha's recipe packs kind of a punch with all three alcohols and you get tipsy pretty fast - its no wonder her recipe has almost the same amounts of ingredients but is supposed to serve twice as many!

    This recipe turned out great! My brother-in-law was hesitant about drinking raw eggs, but loved this dessert drink.

    Not sure what happened. I followed recipe exactly and when I added yolk mixture back to milk mixture, it turned into solid egg pieces. A waste of 12 eggs and a vanilla bean.

    I was trying to make this recipe and when I got to the part that says strain then cover. Which part are you supposed to cover? Confusing.

    What an immense disappointment! This stuff was sooo thick it was nearly impossible to get past the egg whites to the actual drink itself, and when we
    did, the jack and the brandy totally overpowered the flavor of the egg nog itself. It was a lot of work, a lot of eggs< cream< booze< and all for the most vile egg nog I've ever tasted. Guests were too polite to say anything negative, but the nearly full bowl at the end of the party was comment enough. Emeril, you let me down. Merry Christmas.

    only better.

    But just like homemade icecream, its hideously expensive to make. Good thing Christmas is only once a year.

    MAKING IT WAS HARD WORK, AND IN THE END IT DIDN'T HAVE THE FLAVOR A WAS LOOKING FOR, SO I HAD TO MIX IT UP AND MAKE IT A SPANISH EGGNOG (COQUITO. I ADDED 3 CANS OF COCONUT MILK, 2 CANS OF SWEETEN CONDANCE MILK, 2 CINAMON STIKS. FOR THE LIQUIR I COULD ONLY FIND THE BRANDY NOT THE BURBON, SO I SUPSTITUED THE BURBAN WITH VANILLA FLAVOR VODKA (GRAY GOOSE. ALSO I COULDN'T FIND VANILLA BEANS SO I USED VANILLA EXTRACT AND HALF AND HALF INSTEAD OF HEAVY CREAM. THAN I WAS SATISFY AND SO DID MY GUESSTS!!!
