Tis the season to be jolly and egg nog from San Francisco’s Fisherman’s wharf iconic Scoma’s restaurant sure fits the bill. This eggnog is very special. It has been aged for 300 days. It was made with 350 egg yolks, milk, vanilla bean, nutmeg, clove and cinnamon, cream and sugar. It is heated slowly and a bunch of booze is added; Diplomatico Mantuano rum, Yuste Aurora Amontillado Sherry and Vecchia Romagna brandy. How does it taste, you ask?
The first sip of eggnog is a boozy brandy hit. It is warm and coats your mouth with a heavy cream backup. You taste a lot of nutmeg & cinnamon . To be fair the bartender grated some fresh nutmeg over the glass of this vintage brew. I did like it. It also cost 20 dollars for this drink. Would I order it again? I think a good bottle of brandy and some store bought egg nog would easily replicate this drink.
