Campfire Nog; the drink you need to get you into the holiday spirit

Campfire Nog
Traditionally my family drinks Egg Nog heavily laced with a dark spiced rum. While this has a lot of sentimental value to me, it’s not exactly subtle or sophisticated. This recipe is a little less sweet and heavy handed and a bit more complex and unexpected. I loosely based this off of a Tom and Jerry, never heard of it? Me, either. You can find the recipe in Meehan’s Bartender Manual if you’re curious.
Now that I live in Urban California I find myself really missing the snowy pine trees and logs on the fire that used to mean Christmas time when I was a kid growing up in Canada. This recipe is a little bit reminiscent of the smells and tastes of that time. I used a very specific Rhum that lends a woodsy flavor and a slightly smoky Mezcal in this recipe giving the Egg Nog a hint of campfire. Easy to pour, easy to drink, just sit back and pretend you’re relaxing by the fire… and that you’ve finished your Christmas shopping.
