What did eggnog taste like?

Should you drink eggnog?

Eggnog, done right, is safe and delicious, and you should drink it. It’s a velvety mix of egg proteins surrounded by sugar molecules, diluted by milk and booze to a perfect thickness for drinking.

Can I drink eggnog by itself?

When you’re ready to bring the eggnog out, you can either ladle or pour the drink into individual punch glasses, or you can allow your guests to serve themselves. Garnish the drink with grated nutmeg and orange zest or a cinnamon stick.

Does store-bought eggnog have raw eggs?

The answer is that most store-bought eggnog actually contains cooked eggs — although not in the sense of being scrambled or fried. The pasteurization process heat-treats the mixture so that potentially harmful microorganisms (such as salmonella) are killed or reduced.

Do you serve eggnog warm or cold?

While eggnog is often served chilled, in some cases it is warmed, particularly on cold days (similar to the way mulled wine is served warm). Eggnog or eggnog flavoring may also be used in other drinks, such as coffee (e.g. an “eggnog latte” espresso drink) and tea, or to dessert foods such as egg-custard puddings.

What alcohol do you use with eggnog?

Eggnog is typically made with rum, brandy or bourbon, and Brown likes to start with a combination of dark rum and cognac. But there’s no need to go premium; he recommends using an affordable, high-proof VS cognac. The higher alcohol level will cut through the sweetness of the rest of the ingredients.
