there's a pretty decent new orleans style restaurant in town that has a great chili lager made for them by my favorite local small brewery. its pretty mild. i think people often get introduced to complex flavours wrong: some dumb asshole will give them something really extreme right off the bat to show off, ruining the first impression.

im trying it this year for the first time, i had a lil taste a couple weeks and it seems good but i gotta hold off til christmas then get trashed.

heres the recipe i used:

12 large eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
2 cups heavy cream
3 cups whole milk
1 liter (about 4 cups) bourbon
1/2 cup dark rum
1/2 cup cognac
Pinch of salt

separate 12 egg yolks (discard or save the whites). whisk the yolks together with sugar until creamy. add in milk, cream, bourbon, rum, cognac, brandy and salt. stir. then ya age it, put it in the fridge and shake it up every now and then (at least 3 weeks, mines gonna be about 3 months old)

i think i did one thing wrong (didnt really mix the heavy cream right) so im already looking forward to trying again next year.

interesting, haven't tried aging before though I've considered it. would love to know how that turns out. i'm a big fan of whipping the egg whites and folding them in to make it light and fluffy, though the texture from that only lasts about an hour

i don't have much of a palate so idk how much of a difference it really makes. the guy i got the recipe off basically insisted on aging it for at least a few weeks. it just stays in the back of my fridge so its not really any additional work as long as you plan ahead.

and i think the cognac/rum stuff is totally skippable, probably ok to just put in a bit more bourbon. what recipe do you use shriekingviolet?
#529

Mine resembles yours a lot, although I use only 1 and a half cups sugar (plus a little more to whip the egg whites) and a cup less milk. Also a lot of freshly grated nutmeg. The alcohol amount is about the same but I do 2 parts brandy, 1 part dark rum 1 part bourbon.

i make brandy eggnog, sometimes its killer (when i drank the whole batch myself on halloween and ended up getting broken up with the next day)

sometimes terrible, always a jam

basically like Makeshift swahili's

but nutmeg + cinnamon in and nutmeg fresh (obvsly.) on top

the first time i made it i didn't have enough brandy so i added vodka it was well weapon

i made it with portuguese brandy 2 years ago and last year i made it in January because i give no fucks

anyways its my birthday so im gonna go make myself a raw alcoholic smoothie with cooking wine and chocolate and chilis/guavas/oranges and whatever else i feel like...

But now let us think about what I'm to drink next? What sort of a combination can I create out of the junk that's left in my suitcase? "Aunt Clara's Kiss"? Maybe. I won't be able to squeeze any other kind of kisses out of the thing, except "First Kiss" or "Aunt Clara's Kiss." Should I explain to you what a "Kiss" is? A "Kiss" means any red wine mixed fifty-fifty with any vodka. Let's take dry grape plus pepper vodka or Kubanskaya - that's a "First Kiss." A mix of homebrew and port wine Number Thirty-three - that's a "Forced Kiss" or, more simply, a "Cold Kiss" or, more simply, "Lenin's Lady." There are quite a few of the various "Kisses." In order not to feel like throwing up from all these "Kisses" it is necessary to get used to them from childhood.

it tasted real nice but i don't really have much to compare it to. maybe next time ill make batches at different times so i can try 8 months vs 4 months vs a month or w/e.
