HISTORY OF NATIONAL EGGNOG DAY
Eggnog, likewise referred to as egg milk punch when prepared as an alcohol, is a abundant and creamy dairy beverage essentially made by blending cream, milk, sugar, and whipped eggs to create a frothy texture. Liquor is optional, and, once ready, the beverage is served cooled.

The origins of this sweet Christmas drink are highly disputed, along with the primary ingredients utilized for it. According to the Oxford English Dictionary, the word ‘nog’ was utilized to describe a type of strong beer brewed in East Anglia, England. Others argue that eggnog was developed as a beverage in middle ages Europe, using piping hot milk.

The first time the term was printed was in the March 26 concern of the “New-Jersey Journal” in 1788, describing a male taking pleasure in a glass of eggnog. Once again, there is no agreement on how eggnog got its name. One theory suggests that the drink was first called ‘grog’, eventually developing to ‘eggnog.’ Other sources declare that ‘nog’ was utilized in the Old English vocabulary for a strong ale. So, basically, this indicates that egg and nog is a nod to any drink including eggs and alcohol.

Eggnog might potentially also have been a spin-off of the once-popular beverage enjoyed by the British called posset. Used curdled milk mixed with white wine, it was typically utilized for medical purposes. Later, in the 16th century, cream and a citrus base were added to the active ingredients.
