Bored with ordinary, everyday eggnog? Add tequila!

In French, they call it Lait de Poule, or, literally, “chicken milk” (maybe “hen’s milk”). I call it delicious. Well, sometimes.

But if you’re getting tired of eggnog the ordinary way — with rum, or dark rum, or spiced rum, perhaps bourbon or brandy on a wild night — then have I got a treat for you.

Try tequila.

I’m serious. Tequila and egg nog go together almost perfectly. The creaminess of the nog cuts through the tequila flavour, softening it just so. And tequila actually, believe it or not, tastes less harsh and alcoholic than rum does.

Now, what shall we call it? Suggested names are:

  • Worm Nog
  • Nogquila
  • Feliz Navidad
  • Agave Nog

    I like calling it a Feliz Navidad, actually, but I think I’m going to officially vote for “nogquila.” Perhaps this can be like a rum-and-Coke/Cuba Libre thing.

    [...] save that eggnog and do another “Summer Christmas” video in late June? Or should I just drink it with tequila asap? [...]
