Eggnog (or egg nog) is a type of milk-based punch belonging to the posset family. It originates in Europe and its name may have originated from grog or from a small drinking cup known as a noggin. Eggnog typically consists of milk, eggs, and sugar mixed together and may be served with or without added spirits. Other ingredients include spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, or allspice. Eggnog is typically served as a Christmas time drink. ...

Eggnog tastes a little like liquid custard. Then you add rum, cinnamon and nutmeg. With ice cream it makes a great shake too.

Fresh Eggs
(separated into yolks/whites) 4
Sugar
(divided into 2 equal parts) 1/2 cup
White Rum (dark works) 1/2 cup
Milk (Whole or 2%) 1 1/2 cups
Whiskey (Bourbon or Canadian) 1 1/2 cups
Heavy/Whipping Cream
(divided into 2 equal parts) 1 cup
Ground Nutmeg
(strongly recommended) Enough to sprinkle on servings.
Consider whole nutmeg nuts and grinder.
Eggnog Recipe Instructions
You are doing things gently and slowly to preserve the eggnog's fluffiness. A good whisk for the stirring and a high speed mixer for the egg-whites and cream helps this process immensely. Notes on taking this to a party below.
1. Separate eggs into yolks and whites in separate bowls (see below for a how-to). I put the whites into the mixer and the yolks into another bowl.
2. Beat egg-yolks with 1/2 of sugar, set aside.
3. Beat egg-whites until stiff, then mix in other 1/2 of sugar.
4. Pour the yolks into the whites and mix together slowly.
5. Stir in white rum slowly. I've tried dark rum and it works.
6. Stir in milk slowly (see below for dairy intolerance)
7. Stir in whiskey slowly (Bourbon, Canadian, Sour Mash. I use Jim Beam or Jack Daniels)
8. Stir in 1/2 of cream slowly
9. Whip rest (1/2) of cream and fold in carefully. Notes on how to fold below.
10. Serve at room temperature by ladling the eggnog into cups and sprinkle nutmeg on the top. Information on nutmeg grinders below. Try to get some of the foam and some of the liquid (if not fully mixed) in each cup.

Nog is a type of warmed drink with alcohol in it. Traditional egg "nog" has beaten egg whites folded into a warm custardy drink made with heavy cream that has been generously laced with brandy!

it's a drink you buy at the grocery store around christmas time but it's only good if you add vodka or rum to it.
