Reasons not to drink eggnog: too heavy, too fattening, too scary (raw eggs). But contributor Camper English found a pretty good substitute, the Chai Rum Elixir at San Francisco’s Medjool restaurant. We’ve adapted it a bit to suit our tastes, and here present the Medjool-inspired Chai Rum Not-Nog.
INGREDIENTS
- 2 cups crushed ice
- 4 ounces vanilla chai concentrate, such as Oregon Chai
- 1 ounce heavy cream
- 1 1/2 ounces spiced rum, such as Captain Morgan
INSTRUCTIONS
- Fill a tall collins glass with ice. Add the spiced rum, then the vanilla chai. Stir in the heavy cream, and serve.
I made the nog, but replaced the Captain Morgan with Kilo Kai Spiced Rum (never was a Captain Morgan fan) - but with Kilo Kai it was fantastic.
Made these this weekend at a party (martini-style) and subbed the heavy cream for fat-free half and half. Delicious!!!
Egg nog creeps me...this was an awesome alternative. Silk nog is an ok replacement, but this is much much better.
