Every year around the Christmas holiday season, I get the urge to have some eggnog, but I usually do not get any further than looking at a few brands and giving up without ever buying any. The first thing that I want to make sure of is that whatever egg nog I find is safe for me gluten-free diet, and I need to find information to support that either: 1) on the carton directly, or 2) on a company's website or such. Next, I totally avoid all the "eggnogs" that are nothing more than artificial flavors and thickeners -- those are not true egg nog (in my opinion) and just will not do...
I want REAL EGGNOG (made with the same ingredients I would make homemade eggnog with).
Organic Valley Eggnog: High-Quality Ingredients, Great Taste, and GF
This year I was lucky and found this Organic Valley Family of Farms organic eggnog at the local store, and was able to quickly locate the gluten-free status of this nog at the Organic Valley website GF page. And, their ingredient list is essentially what you would expect to put in your own homemade gluten-free eggnog (and, all organic items in this case):
- Milk
- Cane Sugar
- Cream
- Eggs
- Egg Yolks
- Nonfat Milk
- Vanilla
- Nutmeg
- Carrageenan (I wish they left that out, but it is a simple seaweed-based thickener and last on the list of ingredients - should not be much of it in there if lower than Nutmeg on the list)

You should try coquito, the Puertorican coconut-rum drink. There are a lot of recipes on line.
I agree Mike. This eggnog is delicious. I'm glad it's only available at Christmas because it is just so tempting.
