Initially from Europe, eggnog was once only a drink of high society (and didn’t contain alcohol ““ gasp!) to toast to one’s health. Luckily, milk and eggs are no longer rare commodities and all can enjoy this creamy, comforting holiday tradition. Since the 17th century, eggnog has been twisted and tinkered with to satisfy different tastes. In this version, you’ll enjoy all the original flavors of egg, cream and sugar without tummy troubles or an aching hangover. Cheers to that!
