Because alcohol is a preservative, the eggnog could potentially last a couple of years in the fridge once opened. But it’s always a good idea to look for color change or foul odor if you’re concerned, and for the best taste, consume within six months of opening.

Where does eggnog originate from?

England
Eggnog (or egg nog) is a type of milk-based beverage popular in North America during the winter. Historically, it likely belongs to the posset family. But its actual origins, significance and, most importantly, ingredients are subject to dispute and conjecture. The name is a concatenation of egg and nog, where nog derives either from noggin (ale or a small wooden cup) or from grog (an alcoholic beverage made with rum). Most likely, eggnog originated in Europe. Another origin story has it that it was an occasional fortifying drink in the American colonies, who adapted it with cheap rum to make it a more formidable winter treat.

Modern eggnog typically consists of milk, eggs, and sugar mixed together and may be served with or without added spirits. Other ingredients include spices such as nutmeg, cinnamon, or allspice, and frequently the substitution of cream for some portion of the milk, making a much richer drink. Other toppings are vanilla ice cream, eggnog flavored ice cream, and whipped cream.

Eggnog is typically served as a Christmas drink or during New Year's eve. Historically, however, it is a winter beverage, not a holiday-specific one. Although eggnog can be produced from "homemade" recipes, ready-made eggnog containing alcohol and "just-add-alcohol" versions are available for purchase in a variety of stores. Whisky, rum, brandy, or cognac can be added to eggnog. Since the 1960s, eggnog has been served cold and without alcohol, both of which are significant departures from its historical origins. In North America, a few soymilk manufacturers offer seasonally-available, soy-based alternatives for vegans and those with dairy or milk allergies. Eggnog also can be added as a flavouring to food or other drinks.

Who invented egg nog?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

As far as we can tell, eggnog originated from the east of England.

A similar drink in medieval England was called posset. This drink was made similarly to eggnog by using curdled milk and ale or wine. Eggnog uses spirits such as brandy and bourbon, rather than wine or ale like posset does. So eggnog may have been a variation of posset, which gradually became more popular and began to spread across Europe and then to the North American continent.

The "nog" part of the name is believed to come from the old English word "noggin", which is a small wooden mug for serving alcohol.


So in conclusion, eggnog likely originated from England and it was probably a variation of a similar drink called posset, which eggnog became more popular than.
