Eggnog has its origins in medieval England, where it evolved from a drink called "posset," made with hot milk and ale or wine. It was traditionally enjoyed by the upper class, who would add spices and eggs to create a richer beverage. The drink eventually made its way to America, where it became popular and adapted with the addition of rum or Bourbon. Today, eggnog is widely associated with Christmas celebrations in both England and the United States.
Eggnog originated from a heavy beer, (noggin) in England.

Eggnog is related to the milk and wine combinations that had traditionally been made long ago in Europe. However, in Colonial America, rum was used in place of the wine. Rum was commonly called "grog" by the Colonists, so the name eggnog is very likely derived from the descriptive term for this drink, "egg-and-grog", which corrupted into egg'n'grog and after a while became known as "eggnog".
