Egg nog for the rest of us: Healthy
Tuesday, December 14, 2010 at 20:52 Here’s an updated version of this holiday season favorite.
Tonight we had company over for an impromtu meal, and one of my guests didn’t want wine, didn’t want a stiff mixed drink. Something ‘good’. Hmmmm. What about a real eggnog, I said. Her eyebrows went up.
“Real eggnog? As in … ?” she said.
“Yup. As in 1850’s and no cream. Real egg.”
In less than five minutes I had these whipped up, with a nice little maple surprise.
In a Boston style shaker: Crushed ice, one egg - whipped up with a fork, 1-1/2 jiggers of simple syrup, 2 jiggers of unfiltered apple cider, and 1-1/2 jiggers of Sapling maple liquor (substitute bourbon whiskey). Shaken vigorously. Strain into a delightful glass, squirt some whipped on top, dash of nutmeg. Voila! This makes two drinks.
Here’s the original post, with the video and my photos:
