Trogg's Nog -- Egg Nog gets a makeover!

We did not have a Christmas party this year and will probably not have another one until lil' Monkey is a bit older. We had ONE party two years ago and I had wanted it to be a tradition. But being in my first trimester last year, I just didn't have the energy. This year we have Monkey which makes partying a bit hard so I think we'll hold off on continuing that tradition for a few years. Er, STARTING that tradition really.

However, there's one item we served at the party which I believe will become a tradition in the meantime: Trogg's nog. (I don't think the drink was named after Trogdor but the image fits IMO.)

I might just have one this Christmas Eve after Monkey goes to bed. If anyone is interested, here's the recipe (from Drink Swap):

Ice cubes
1 oz. Grand Marnier
1/2 oz. Creme de Cacao
Fill to top with Egg Nog

Enjoy!
