I like the stuff, but I just haven’t had much luck finding a reliably delicious recipe.
I contacted two professionals to get their insights on which brand to purchase and why.
I am pretty picky when selecting a store-bought eggnog, admits Andrews.
Simply Recipes / Hood
I always choose Hood.
Its the OG, and for good reason.
The company just knows what its doing with nog.
Its version checks off all the non-negotiables: creaminess, flavor balance, and that perfect pinch of spice.
Romanul explains that the perfect eggnog is just thick enough and rich.
Or, as Andrews puts it, It clings to your glass with just the right amount of viscosity.
Flavorwise, Hood nog is sweet, but not so sweet that it is overpowering.
Its custardy with a hint of spice, notes Romanul.
All in all, she says, It tastes homemade and just right.
