Or any other drink your Nan used to have at Christmas. It was Cherry Brandy in our house. Eggnog is historically also known as milk punch or egg milk punch when it is mixed with an alcoholic beverage. It’s a rich, chilled, creamy, and sweetened dairy drink traditionally created with milk and/or cream, sugar, whipped eggs which helps it gain it’s frothy texture, and sometimes mixed spirits. The origins of eggnog are highly debated as are the original ingredients used for it. The Oxford English Dictionary claims that nog was “a kind of strong beer brewed somewhere in East Anglia” The first printed use of the term was in 1788 in the New-Jersey Journal of March 26th, which referred to a young man drinking a glass of eggnog. Eggnog may have developed from posset, a Medieval European beverage made with hot milk that curdled up when mixed with wine or ale and was then flavoured with spices.

You know me so well! A Christmas Abigail’s Party, if you will.... oh yes, there’ll be cheese and pineapple on sticks, fondue, quiche lorraine, lemon meringue pie; the Bee Gees on a slightly chewed cassette for a bit of dancing later, all rounded off with a nice Brandy Alexander and some sherry.
