Love it or hate it, itâs beginning to look a lot like ânog season.
While we just wrapped up decorative gourd season, we now roll into delicious warm drinks and, of course, the obligatory eggnog. Luckily, there are many variations to suit even the pickiest palates by substituting almond milk, coconut milk and various spirits other than whiskey and rum.
The beginnings of an egg drink, from The Spruce Eats’ “Eggnog’s European Origins,” TheSpruceEats.com:
âIt is believed that eggnog began in Europe. As early as the 13th century, medieval monks in Britain were known to drink posset, a warm ale punch with eggs and figs. Over the years, this likely merged with the various milk and wine punches often served at social gatherings.
