McCormick Imported Irish Egg Nog Liqueur
My wife and I like eggnog during the Christmas season. We don’t make it ourselves, which may be a challenge to try to do next season, but usually we buy a quart of it at the supermarket–non-alcoholic, of course. I got a wonderful gift set of 750ml of McCormick Imported Irish Egg Nog Liqueur with two etched rocks glasses. I usually leery of liqueurs that are normally sold in as a non-liqueur, like iced-tea-flavored liqueurs, which tend to be nasty, fake-lemon and corn syrup affairs. And I’ve had an eggnog liqueur in the past that was cloying. But I was pleasantly surprised by McCormick. It tasted a lot like a decent carton of supermarket-brand eggnog with a bit of whiskey and nutmeg thrown in.
The liqueur is 30-proof, not too strong, and might work with an additional drop of whiskey. Also, it requires refrigeration after opening, so the nicely designed white-frosted bottle can’t be displayed on my shelf. I tend to ignore “refrigerate after opening” labels on liqueurs, but the low-alcohol content and dairy ingredients made me err on the side of chill.
I like it too! Can someone tell me the calorie count, fat, & fiber.
I would like to count it in my WW diet.
I like it three…not sure on the calories and fat, I never watch my figure. Probably why I have a nice sized belly, but I so love good food and drink.
I love it! A nice holiday addition. Now I can save my soco bottle for the occasional bad day at work.
i love this great.
Great on a hot day in July too. – especially good when served chilled over ice in the summer. A big hit when I bring a very cold one to a barbeque. Very different and everyone loves it – even people who don’t like egg not love it. Keeps very well all year.
Never thought to try it in the summer Marlene! Only 8 more months away… tear :)
I purchased my McCormick Egg Nog about 10 years ago – never opened it until now…rather lumpy…do you think it is still good?
Hi, Anne. Even new bottles are lumpy, and they should shaken before serving. The alcohol will prevent it from spoiling, so an unopened bottle may still be fine. If it’s been exposed to light, though, the fats may oxidize and turn rancid. You’ll notice a very unpleasant smell if that is the case. Good luck!
