Not too worry Johnny, I am still reading Nelson DeMille’s Gate House which is set in Long Island. He talks about a “Dar and Stormy”..the blackrum and gingerbeer yet finds it’s not too his palate. Well, thats solves it all and proves that it depends on upbringing and tastes, which further backs up my claim Russians drink ‘black russians’ only because they taste good.

Have a great year and someday apply the knowledge that you gain.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for the recipe, I’ll try my hand at it. As for the advocat, thats something I’ve definitely been enjoying as a backup. Actually, I think I’ll go get some right now…

Hey Cahow, yeah, I know, I felt all dirty after that UK thing. Darn Sasenachs…

For God’s sake man, your not in the UK, your in Scotland. A man of your background and intelect should know better than asking such a dumb question. Thats like asking a London cabby “where’s the best place to get a Hagis Birger”? Come on Johnny.

Have a happy holiday and stick too draft beer.

Cheers……………………..:+)

I think buying it is difficult in the UK John. We tend to think of Advocat. Here a simple recipe…Happy Holidays to you.

Make your own
Eggnog

* 6 eggs
* 1 cup + 1 tablespoon sugar
* 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
* 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
* 3/4 cup brandy
* 1/3 cup dark rum (Captain Morgan for best flavor, but Myers is OK)
* 2 cups whipping cream
* 2 cups milk

All liquids should be very cold. Refrigerate in advance.

Beat the eggs for 2 or 3 minutes with an electric mixer at medium speed until very frothy. Gradually beat in the sugar, vanilla and nutmeg. Turn the mixer off and stir in the cold brandy, rum, whipping cream and milk Chill before serving. Sprinkle individual servings with more nutmeg.

Makes about 2-1/2 quarts.
