Egg Noggs

The term 'nog' was used in the seventeenth century to describe a strong beer, whilst a noggin was a small mug of beer or liquor. These drinks were often adulterated with beaten egg, which became the basis of today's Egg Nogg.

Traditionally drunk on Christmas morning, Egg Noggs are usually made with Brandy and rum and either thickened with cream or extra egg yolk, or thinned with milk.
