Poll question: How do you like your egg nog?

Is this a copycat of my own poll? You decide.

1. Brandy, preferably.

[Xipe Totec]

2. Rompope, what else?

A Mexican hard eggnog with enough alcohol to be classified as hard liquor.

[EstimatedProphet]

3. Post a recipe!

Never heard of it before. How is it made?

[Cuban_Liberal]

4. It's basic eggnog, with ground almonds added, for texture.

That, and enough 150-proof rum to keep ya stiff until the Epiphany.

:P

10. Here is the recipe

Rompope is the Mexican version of egg nog and is traditionally spiked with Rum. According to Karen Hursh Graber the drink started at the Convent of Santa Clara in Puebla, Mexico back in the colonial period. Today Rompope is produced commercially and widely available in Mexico and the U.S. As always the best product is the one you make at home.
