In which we switch up some great holiday traditions
TRADITION: Drinking Egg Nog
Eggnog is so ridiculously tasty, Christmas wouldn’t be Christmas without it. It can stay. But we urge you to get crafty with it! Creativity abounds in this creamy beverage’s even more rich history. Derived from “egg and grog” a common Colonial term, egg nog was a drink made from milk, sugar and eggs mixed with brandy or sherry and enjoyed only by the aristocracy (many lower class people didn’t have fridges). Since then, egg nog has been enjoyed across the world in many far-out forms. In New Orleans, it’s mixed with wine, in Peru it’s made with coconut water, and in Germany it’s consumed as a soup made with beer. George Washington allegedly cooked up a batch of his own stiff concoction that included rye, whiskey, rum and sherry. Beastly!
