The holidays are a time to gather with friends and family, drink lots of co*cktails and eat all of those small little appetizers after a hard, cold December week at work. And one of the most popular holiday drinks is the Eggnogg (after Champagne of course).
Eggnog is a traditional holiday drink that is either prepared with or without alcohol and eventually spiced with nutmeg. It isn’t for everyone; it is one of those things that either you love it or you hate it. Some people like to add rum, some like to add bourbon, and some like to drink it straight up without alcohol.
When I think of eggnog, all that comes to mind is the Captain Morgan Eggnog because it’ll help relieve the stress of shopping, the family gatherings and of course it will put you in the great holiday mood. Enjoy this classic eggnog holiday drink with rum to keep out the winter cold/blues.
Here is the Captain Morgan Eggnog Holiday drink recipe:
Ingredients: 1 oz Captain Morgan Original Spiced Rum 4 oz Eggnog 1 pinch nutmeg 2 Cinnamon sticks
Preparation: Pour rum into a small highball glass, and add eggnog. Stir together, top with nutmeg, and garnish with cinnamon sticks. Enjoy and Happy Holidays!!

While brandy is the most traditional alcohol to pair with eggnog, according to traditional recipes, you can also use a mixture of dark rum and Cognac. If you like your eggnog with more of a kick you can also add bourbon, but we recommend sticking to rum and Cognac to preserve the 'nog's flavors.
It was thought that the use of “luxury” ingredients such as cream and alcohol would invite prosperity into the household for the coming year. In most households today, a cup of eggnog ushers in the good cheer of the holiday more so than any belief in impending wealth.
“Think what's in it: heavy cream, milk, sugar, whipped eggs and alcohol.” And with the recommended serving size a paltry half a cup, eggnog is easy to over-indulge. High in fat and sugar, a single serving contains one-third of the fat Americans should eat daily.
In places in the American colonies where even bourbon was too expensive, homemade moonshine spirits were added to eggnog. Eggnog "became tied to the holidays" when it was adopted in the United States in the 1700s. Eggnog "seems to have been popular on both sides of the Atlantic" in the 18th century.
Bacteria (including Salmonella) cannot live in alcohol. And the more alcohol you use, the longer the eggnog will stay fresh in your fridge. If you'd like to read more about why it's safe to drink classic eggnog recipes like this one, check out this article: Why You Shouldn't Fear the Eggnog.
Made with eggs, sugar, spices, and of course, whiskey, this rich and creamy beverage is sure to get you in the holiday spirit. To make Wigle's spiked eggnog, we recommend using a good quality whiskey like Yule Tidings but other whiskeys will be equally delicious. Wigle PA Bourbon eggnog is also highly recommended!
(What's the difference between eggnog and Holiday Nog? Eggnog must have a minimum 6 percent butterfat and a minimum 1 percent egg yolk by weight; Holiday Nog, which Spangler called a flavored milk product, has 2 percent butterfat and less than 1 percent egg yolk by weight.)
Luckily, you can freeze eggnog and enjoy it safely past the holiday season. In fact, the sweet, custardy liquid is great to keep on hand to add extra flavor to recipes or speed up a quick and convenient breakfast (like this Eggnog French Toast Casserole).
Sugar's addictive properties have been studied, and ice cream mix used to make eggnog contains its fair share, both from the milk sugar lactose and from added sugars.
Thickeners may cause digestive upset in some people. Several of the dairy products contain high fructose corn syrup as a sweetener. The majority of the eggnogs we looked at had more than one of these ingredients.
You can tell if eggnog has gone bad if it is lumpy, has a sour and unpleasant odor, and if it has lost its color from beige yellowish to another hue. At this point, it's best to make or buy a new batch or opt for some other holiday beverage such as a peppermint mocha.
In the 1700s, rum from the Caribbean was the American eggnog alcohol of choice. But it was scarce during the revolution, so it was traded out for moonshine. This might explain why it became associated with the Christmas season. It warmed up drinkers in the cold weather, and true eggnog called for expensive liquor.
Advocaat + Eggnog = Advonog The British call it Advocaat, the Americans called it Eggnog, put together we get Advonog. Turns out whatever side of the pond you're from, both are wrong. It's a Dutch alcoholic beverage made from eggs, sugar and brandy and they call it Advocatenborrel.
Most plants keep producing eggnog through New Year's, and start dumping their unsold product in January. Although associated with the holidays, eggnog doesn't need to be seasonal. Dairy plants could produce small batches of eggnog off-season for hard-core nogheads, but they don't because it's not cost-effective.
Rum – I like dark rum in eggnog (Myers's is what I usually buy), but spiced rum would also be fabulous. Whiskey – I typically use Crown Royal, but use what you like or keep on hand.
Southern Comfort (often abbreviated SoCo) is an American, naturally fruit-flavored, whiskey liqueur with fruit and spice accents. The brand was created by bartender Martin Wilkes Heron in New Orleans in 1874, using whiskey as the base spirit. Whiskey was replaced by a neutral spirit under the ownership of Brown–Forman.
The eggnog white russian co*cktail is perfect for the holiday season! Coffee liqueur mixed with vanilla vodka and eggnog and topped with freshly grated nutmeg is the perfect treat and oh-so festive!
