I’ve just made up a batch for Christmas using Alton Brown’s recipe but only had 2 cups of 40% (80 proof) spirit to hand, I topped up with 1 cup of 35% (70 proof) cinnamon liqueur. What are my odds on accidentally ruining everyone’s new year with salmonella, or is that extra 5% negligible?

goodness posted:12/60000. I watched a few videos on it and can't remember which one, but one of them did say "make sure to use 3 cups of at least 40%". I figured that a 2:1 ratio of 40%:35% brings me to an average of 38.3% for the spirit and the recipe probably isn't so fine tuned that that extra 1.7% is going to be the difference between delicious safe egg nog and everyone throwing their guts up. I just wanted to make sure that nobody here had an anecdote of "Oh god, one year we used 35% and it was a disaster".

I used Talisker 10 this year in the alcohol mix. It was over powering when I first mixed it and I was worrying that I had wasted an expensive bottle of whisky on top of the rest of the ingredients. But now it's had time to mellow it's incredible, easily my best batch yet.
