HISTORY OF EGGNOG
While culinary historians debate the exact lineage of eggnog , most agree it originated from the early medieval Britain “posset,” a hot, milky, ale-like drink. By the 13th century, monks were known to drink their posset with eggs and figs.
In Britain, the drink was popular mainly among the aristocracy because milk, eggs, and brandy were foods of the wealthy.
It was, then, often used to toast prosperity and good health.
Eggnog became tied to the holidays when the drink crossed the Atlantic to Britain’s American colonies in the 1700s.
The colonies were full of farms—and chickens and cows—and cheaper rum, a soon-signature ingredient.
This all helped the drink to become very popular. Mexico adopted the very eggnog varietal “rompope,” and Puerto Rico enjoys the “coquito,” which adds coconut milk.
The English name’s etymology however remains a mystery. Some say “nog” comes from “noggin,” meaning a wooden cup, or “grog,” a strong beer.
By the late 18th century, the combined term “eggnog” stuck.
