    Glad I'm not the only one who thinks a Rusty Nail is PERFECT for the Winter holidays! Also, to anyone who reads this and plans to try this drink - do NOT forget your expressed lemon oil! It is the unofficial third ingredient in this drink and without it, your nail won't be as.... rusty?.. as it should be. Cheers everyone, have a great weekend!🥃

    Nice video. Thank you. Looking forward to trying your Eggnog specs. If listeners want to try something lighter and with less ABV than Eggnog then I'd recommend a Sherry Flip:
    - 2 oz. Lustau Amontillado ‘Los Arcos’ Sherry (any dry sherry).
    - 0.5 oz. Demerara syrup (2:1).
    - 1 whole Egg.
    - Dry shake for 15 seconds to emulsify and thicken.
    - Shake with ice and strain to chilled rocks or coupe glass. Top with grated nutmeg.

    My December specials menu was just about to go up, may have to make some adjustments. Some of these sound really good. Rusty Nail is always available at TCB.
    Specials were going to be: Stinger, Elks Own (an Anders original), Slovanian Sato (a sweetened mulled white wine with egg, kicked up with a little brandy and dry curacao, served hot, whipped to foamy) and Boston Flip (rye, rainwater madeira, rich simple and whole egg) (one off egg nogs are always available too). Then a classic tiki, which I haven't settled on yet - maybe Coffee Grog....
    I might have to sub in one or two of Anders' recipes.... what would you pick?
    Will also be making a bowl of Tom & Jerry's sometime near the holiday.

    I never noticed the Yuletidal Wave in the Smuggler's Cove book. Probably because it's listed with the punches.

And I like that you use cognac instead of brandy, which I'm not a huge fan of.

    Hi Anders.
    Theres a swedish version of eggnog (i guess it might be exactly the same thing, depending on whoever designs the recipe) . I did try yours,, with slightly different ingrediences , other suger, other rum brand, it was awesome!. I havnt tried the swedish version. It's called Äggtoddy. If i remember right you have some swedish heritage right? Maybe it's something you want to try.. i cant guarantee it's good, but maybe fun to try. The usual recipe is to whip egg yolks with suger so they turn in to a thick foam, then add liquor of choise (rum, cognac, calvados or bourbon).

    With shaken cocktails, Anders, the best yield I've gotten is with one large and one cracked of clear ice in a tin. However, my cracking game is sub par and usually ends up with ice flying all over, so I switched to your silicone molds with of course had made making ice cubes easier and cute. However, in shaken cocktails, such as one of my favorites the Jack Rose, I have lower cocktail yield and much more ice particles in need of fine strain to not result in a slushy. How can I prevent this from occurring using your molds? Your cocktails seem to always have adequate final yield
