You know what we love? When cartons of egg nog start to appear on the grocery store shelves. Yes, we said egg nog, that creamy, slightly sweet, vanilla-esque, mystery drink that, thanks to advancements in food science, now even boasts low-fat versions. You know what we hate? When we bring home a carton of this perennial treat and our offers to pour someone a glass is met with, OH GROSS, or I HATE egg nog, or GET IT AWAY FROM ME!
Hmpf.
We just don’t get it. We’re even smitten by egg nog-flavored lattes and cheesecake. Perhaps the problem is this good ol’ fashion bevy needs to be spiced up a bit…like say, lighting it on fire.(Although we strongly recommend Jonathan Hunt's recipe for it, which is best sipped as-is.) The hottest recipe we’ve ever seen of this time-honored tradition hails from the BOA Steakhouse (Santa Monica, Las Vegas, West Hollywood), where, yes, the bartenders are known to set martinis filled with spiked egg nog on fire.
Since we have a can-do attitude here at SFist, we’re more than happy to encourage our home chefs to try making this drink at home. But for the love of god, please make sure you have a fire extinguisher within arms reach when you do.
COCKTAIL: #4 Flaming Egg nog
1 1/2 ounce Captain Morgan spiced rum
4 ounce house egg nog
1/2 ounce float of Bacardi 151
Sprinkle of nutmeg to garnish
Mix rum and egg nog in a shaker with ice and shake. Strain into a martini glass, float the 151, and garnish with nutmeg. At the table, light the 151 on fire.
Do: Show the world once and for all why egg nog is really a superior holiday treat.
Don’t: Flame your egg nog if you are drunk, around children, drunk and around children, or the person people often mistake for a complete moron.

When is Tiff going to get to post under her own byline?
Somebody made me a White Russian with egg nog instead of half and half the other day. It was delish.
Meh. The only flaming drink I like is coffee beans lit inside sambuca mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
Unfortunately the BAAQMD just outlawed those.

Hilarious! Thank you for making my day a little less shitty!

House egg-nog? Putting 151 on store bought crap doesn't make it a recipe, and don't tell me the Cap'n is the extended pinky of this operation.
what a coincidence that i am sipping some store-bought organic eggnog with cheap-ass vsop brandy from trader joe's as i came across this nog related article!
last year "start the eggnog NOW" was printed too late for me to get it together (i think it came out on the friday of TG weekend, not enough time to buy the tremendous amounts of likker, get people to come, & so on). that article should be dredged up a week BEFORE TG weekend, so it's fresh in noggers' minds.
i SAVED that article and made my own eggnog with some chums this past sunday, as we ate delicious snacks and made merry with some home-infused cranberry/vanilla/nutmeg spiced rum that i originally got from belize. holy crap it's good.
it's my first time, so i followed the recipe exactly, but i can think of some variations i may try next time, if i don't love this recipe 100%. it's supposed to be ready by x-mas...yum.

Say what, ready by x-mas? All of the recipes I've ever used for eggnog are usable right away.
