Review: Skrewball Eggnog

Skrewball, The Original Peanut Butter Whiskey just released Skrewball Eggnog.  It is made with real dairy cream, natural flavors and of course Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey.  For those unfamiliar with Skrewball it was created in 2018 by Steve Yeng, a Cambodian immigrant and his wife Brittany Yeng.  Steve and his family own a couple of restaurants including OB Noodle House in Ocean Beach California and The Holding Company in San Diego.  A peanut butter flavored whiskey cocktail was the signature cocktail he developed for the restaurants.  Steve thought a peanut butter flavored whiskey would be a big seller.  He worked with his wife Brittany who has a Masters Degree in chemistry while she was on maternity leave to develop Skrewball Peanut Butter Whiskey.  While brandy has been the traditional spirit to blend with eggnog, rum, cognac, and whiskey have also been used to make a tasty adult eggnog.  Skrewball Eggnog weighs in at 29.5 proof.  By comparison Rumchata is 27.5 proof and Bailey’s Irish Cream 34 proof.

Review: Members Mark Eggnog

Members Mark Eggnog as the name would suggest can be found at Sam’s Club’s.  It is sold in a 1.75 liter plastic bottle, and priced at $9.98.  At one time Sam’s Club’s also sold a private label Irish Cream liqueur under the O’Dowd’s label.  O’Dowd’s Irish Cream and O’Dowd’s Pumpkin Irish Cream, which they also sold, were two of our highest scoring Irish Cream liqueurs.  I was a little sad when Sam’s pull the plug on the brand.  Members Mark Eggnog  is made in Kentucky with Caribbean rum, real cream, cane sugar, and a medley of other classic ingredients.  Some adult eggnog’s are made with brandy or bourbon and some have a blend of all three spirits.

Review: Trader Joes Eggnog Liqueur

Trader Joes Eggnog Liqueur is made with real dairy cream, spiced rum, and French Brandy.  This is my fourth eggnog liqueur review, and bottled at 29.5 proof it has the highest alcohol content.  29.5 proof is not especially high for a cream liqueur as RumChata is bottled at 27 proof and Baileys Irish Cream is bottled at 34 proof.  Trader Joes Eggnog Liqueur is produced in Mira Loma California by Levecke Corporation, and it is sold at Trader Joe’s October-December, or while supply lasts.  Read more »
