Over at Seattlest, I\u2019m revealing the age-old secrets of my family\u2019s egg nog<\/a> recipe, passed down from my maternal great-grandfather J. P. Hartt. This is the stuff of legends, dear reader, and it\u2019s been corrupting the youth of my family for generations. We\u2019ve never been a video-camera kind of gang, but our one family gathering on tape, the Christmas of 1987, is now famous for my (then) eight-year-old cousin Katie\u2019s<\/span> announcement that her favorite part of the holiday was \u201cdrinking egg nog with boooooze in it.<\/strong>\u201d<\/p>\n

Egg nog gets a bad rap* in some circles today, and it\u2019s no wonder: all too often, it\u2019s nasty, viscous, cloying stuff, no better than cheap melted ice cream. J. P. Hartt\u2019s rendition is the greatest of exceptions. Smooth, sophisticated, and with a slurpability that belies its richness<\/strong>, it is subtly sweet and, needless to say, very, very boozy. Cheers to you and yours, from me and mine.<\/p>\n
