Traditional Eggnog Recipe
12 eggs, separated
6 cups milk
2 cups heavy/ thickened cream
2 cups bourbon
1+ ½ cups sugar
¾ cup brandy
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg

In a large bowl and using a mixer, beat the egg yolks together with the sugar for approx 10 minutes (you want the mixture to be firm and the colour of butter).
Very slowly, add in the bourbon and brandy - just a little at a time.
When bourbon and brandy have been added, allow the mixture to cool in the fridge (for up to 6 hours, depending on how long before your party you're making the eggnog).
30 minutes before your guests arrive, stir the milk into the chilled yolk mixture.
Stir in 1+ ½ teaspoons ground nutmeg.
In a separate bowl, beat the cream with a mixer on high speed until the cream forms stiff peaks.
In yet another bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form.
Gently fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture.
Gently fold the cream into the egg mixture.
After ladling into cups, garnish with the remainder of the ground nutmeg.

Serves: 8.

Eggnog is great.

To me, it just tastes like a custard milkshake

Good stuff

Since eggnog is made up of eggs and milk, two ingredients that are both very time sensitive for spoiling I am not sure how well the average person could possibly ship some. I would think you would need to use dry ice or something.
It is possible that you might be able to do a search online and find some place that will ship some to you.
Here is a link talking about what eggnog is:
Eggnog is a sweetened dairy-based drink made with milk, cream, sugar, beaten eggs, ...

Eggnog is So Delicious, Thats why I drink it. I used to date a woman who was Crazy for it.

Nows the Perfect Time to get it. They sell it Every where in the States. They even have Egg Nog Milk Shakes at Certain Fast Food Restaraunts. I just had an Egg Nog Milk Shake the other day. It was so Perfect.

I don't drink mine with any Liquor but I know people that Do. I Like mine Plain. I hope you can try Some. I know You'd Love it

It's definately a seasonal beverage and I love it. Yummy. Some add it to coffee in place of cream as well, as with liquor like someone mentioned. Liquor is not necessary. IMO best served cold. It probably wouldn't ship well, but you could follow the recipe and probably make it yourself.

I've never had homemade egg nogg, just the bought stuff. We always get some around the holidays. Since my wife and I don't drink alcohol, we toast the New Year in with egg nogg.

Around her Trauth Dairy makes a good brand. Jim Varney (as Ernest P. Worrel) used to be their spokesperson years ago.

When I had gestational diabetes, I prepared for it...found it in cans and bought about a dozen...had me some egg nog in the summer!!

[jwyblejr]

I love the one Kroger sells. Pretty good stuff.

[garagesale]

Wow... egg nog!

During the holidays we have a couple a week with Jack Daniels, cinnamon, and nutmeg. The kids like it as well (without the Jack). It's just not Thanksgiving/Christmas/New Year without it. Might be a good Chanukah drink, but I'm not sure it's kosher! Kwanzaa too. Good for Festivus!
