How do you enjoy advocaat or eggnog, and do you spike store-bought eggnog?

Question

I have a lot of 98% home made alcohol at home. some made of barley malt (whisky), 40L made of wine (brandy). So I decided to make 20-30L of drinks for summer time. One receipt I decided to make is Irish Cream another Advocaat.
Advokat or Advocaat or Egg Cognac is made of egg yolks, sweetened condensed milk and vanilla extract. I learned over years to put egg yolks over a fine strainer to get rid of thin skin that surrounds egg yolks. This skin mixed with alcohol turns in hard and unpleasant protein cloth
I know Americans drink Eggnog to Christmas. Do you add alcohol to that alcohol free stuff sold in groceries to get better experience?
In Europe it's sold already mixed with alcohol under Names Advokat or Eierlikör in Garman speaking countries.

Do you like it?

I like it with or without really. If I'm choosing what to spike it with I'll prefer a bourbon or perhaps an Irish whiskey, a nice one with some spice to it, probably finished in a sherry cask or similar to impart some fruity/nutty notes. Good example might be Powers John's Lane Irish. The bill is malted and un-malted barley triple distilled in copper pot stills, matured in bourbon casks and finished in sherry butts. Still not a high proof at 46% (92proof), a little complexity sold at 12 years... that's a nice match for me.

I had that, but rarely. And remember that I couldn't drink more than one cup.

Oh, I love Eggnog at the winter holidays and oh, yes, it's spiked!  That's so awesome you make your own. It is quite an art and alchemy. 🥂

Advocaat and eggnog are such comforting drinks 😌

I like advocaat chilled, sipped slowly from a small glass, or poured over vanilla ice cream. In Germany I once had it in a simple sponge cake, and it was unforgettable.

Store‑bought eggnog, I always spike. Dark rum, bourbon, or brandy, plus a little fresh nutmeg on top. It transforms that carton into something cozy and rich.

How do I drink eggnog? Very sparingly. It is way too rich for me. It feels like drinking a chocolate cake, LOL. Yeah, it's strictly a winter holiday drink for me. And the tradition I grew up with was rum and fresh ground nutmeg. I can tolerate one or two per season. That's about my limit.
