However, have you ever wondered why eggnog is considered a drink of Christmas? Believe it or not, eggnog was called “posset” in the UK. Possets were drinks that were created to help treat colds and the flu. For many people, they believe that eggnog became a drink of Christmas simply because there are many people who suffer from colds and flu during this season, and it was just given to people automatically.
The original eggnog recipes utilized hot milk that was mixed with wine or ale, as well as other spices. As it progressed, it was started to mix with other types of alcohol to give this a little more spunk for the drinker. In fact, President George Washington served eggnog that was made with rum, whisky and sherry in it! It packed quite a punch.
Today, you will find that eggnog is still a drink that many people serve at their Christmas functions or have certain traditions that center around eggnog. However, most of the eggnog that is purchased already made no longer contains alcohol so even children can enjoy this Christmas beverage.
Even if you are not a fan of eggnog, serve this at your next Christmas gathering. You will be surprised at just how many people love this Christmas drink and will partake in this.
