Eggnog, the traditional Christmas beverage made with milk, eggs, and the option to add whatever liquor you choose, is a quintessential drink for the holiday season. For those who love it, it's another addition to celebrating this season, where everything seems merry and bright.
The European drink known as "posset" is supposed to have been the ancestor of the American eggnog. Posset was produced by first heating milk, then combining or curdling it with wine or ale, and lastly, adding spices. In other historical accounts, particularly in East Anglia, England, during the middle ages, there was supposedly a style of beer known as "nog" that included alcohol. It is speculated that the term "eggnog" originated from this term owing to the alcoholic component of eggnog. It is believed that the phrase "eggnog," which we still use today, was first coined in the United States somewhere around the year 1765. Not surprisingly, eggnog, like many other decadent treats, was only available to wealthy aristocrats.
