Thanks!

All the "sippers" in here knew what I was speaking about, even if the rum blinded them to the spelling.

Made a mistake by buying a carton of Oatnog instead of Eggnog. It's a non-dairy and eggless mixture. It tastes somewhat like eggnog but not as thick and creamy. https://elmhurst1925.com/products/oat-nog

However, with some Jameson and Irish cream topped with whipped cream, I don't think I'll care much after a couple.

Redeemed myself and got some real nog. Chocolate nog. I'm already feeling very...festive.

I came home from my family Christmas with a bottle of Basil Hayden, it's light with a little caramel finish at 80 proof. I cracked it open and shared with my stepbrother, nephew and my stepsisters fiancé.

Picked up a bottle of Mad March Hare Poitin for BIL's Christmas gift, so ordered 2. Drank about 1/2 on Eve. I can't quite place the flavor, but it's very enjoyable.

No mention of Malört in this thread?!!

https://malort.com/

We first encountered it after our son moved to Chicago ten years ago. A rite of passage / bartender gag / double dare! We have to have a shot on Christmas Eve.
