Even I didn't know that a high quality whisky is manufactured in my own country:

Abasolo Ancestral Corn Whisky, Mexico

Abasolo takes its name from the campesinos of Jilotepec de Abasolo who grow the ancient Cacahuazintle corn used in the whisky, which isn’t roasted but rather cooked via nixtamalization, a 4,000-year-old alkaline-cooking process used by ancient Aztecs and Mayans. The white dog is then double-distilled in copper pot stills and aged in oak to create some truly delicious stuff, but of this list the least whisky-ish of all—imagine almost a corn mezcal in flavor and scent. An extremely unique spirit.

I find it pleasant to sip on one after a meal, in place of, or with dessert.
The alcohol content is Brandy, generally between 14% and 20% ABV.
My second would be Pernod.

I used to like eggnog when I was a kid... now it nauseates me a little...
Agreed! -- It is my observation that many (commercially prepared) eggnog products tend to bear distinct (and, I might add, emetic) 'reminiscence' to neat HFCS thinly disguised with a dash of nutmeg and a bit of food colouring...

With best regards and high hopes for a much improved new year!

It would change the thickness it would be better to make something else out of it, at least thin it down so I can eat my dinner.
