Nog nog.

Who’s there?

Big Dave.

Big Dave who?

You know, the guy David Lentz, chef/owner of The Hungry Cat, calls dad. His very special, very spiked eggnog is here just for the holidays, so you can have it by the glass after dinner or tote a bottle to your next holiday fete.

A Christmas staple in the Lentz household, the beverage keeps its classic cinnamon and nutmeg roots but forgoes a cream base in favor of eggnog ice cream for even richer flavor.

Did we mention it’s (hiccup) spiked? Spiced rum, brandy, and whiskey are added to each batch. And it’s the only way it comes.

Hey, Big Dave’s not messing around.

Available for a limited time at The Hungry Cat, 1535 Vine Street, at Sunset Boulevard, Hollywood (323-462-2155 or thehungrycat.com).
