Eggnog

What’s an Eggnogaholic? Someone who loves Eggnog… a whole lot! These individuals are also known as an Eggnoggin, Eggnoger, Eggnogiac, or an Eggnogican.

Alcoholic eggnog was once a drink consumed only by the English aristocracy, but eventually made its way to North America sometime in the 18th century. It's popularity is usually associated with winter celebrations such as Christmas and New Year. Commercial non-alcoholic eggnog is typically available only in the winter season. Eggnog may be added as a flavoring to food or drinks such as coffee and tea. Eggnog-flavored ice cream is a seasonal product in North America.

Eggnog, also known as egg nog, is a traditional frothy drink that typically consists of milk, sugar, spices, and raw eggs. Frequently, cream is substituted for some portion of the milk to make a richer drink. Some eggnogs add gelatin. Toppings may include vanilla ice cream, meringue, whipped cream and wide variety of garnishes, notably grated nutmeg and chocolate curls. Various liquors, such as brandy, rum, whisky, advocaat and/or liqueurs, are often added.
