.RZ "HOPKINS NEOLITHIC EGG NOG" "Traditional layered eggnog with bourbon and dark rum"
This is the egg nog that was served at
the Hopkins Neolithic Xmas Party,
a party that
some friends used to have every year.
We now serve it for our Winter Solstice celebration.
It's purported to come from the original
Fanny Farmer Cookbook.

Serve with freshly-grated nutmeg.
The egg nog should be ladled from the bottom of the
bowl, and never stirred,
in order to maintain its layered quality.
.PP
An alternate method, preferred by some,
is to make a creamy, non-layered egg nog
by stirring gently every day.
.SH RATING
.I Difficulty:
easy.
