Eggnog

holiday drinks · eggs · creamy treats · winter traditions

Creamy and sweet. Eggnog is made by mixing milk or cream with sugar and whipped eggs to create a rich, smooth drink that tastes almost like a liquid custard.

Eggs get whipped in. The eggs are whipped until fluffy and then combined with the milk and sugar, which makes the drink thick and frothy instead of thin and watery.

Holiday tradition. Eggnog is most popular during winter holidays, especially around Christmas and New Year's, when families make it at home or buy it from stores.

Sometimes has alcohol. Adults often add drinks like rum, brandy, or bourbon to eggnog, but the non-alcoholic versions that kids enjoy are just as delicious and creamy.

Old-fashioned drink. Eggnog has been enjoyed for hundreds of years and was historically called milk punch, showing it's been a favorite celebration drink for a very long time.
