St Nicholas Eggnog is sold by various retailers, including grocery stores and specialty shops. It is also available online through platforms like Amazon and the official St Nicholas Eggnog website. Depending on the region, some local liquor stores may carry it as well. Always check for availability in your area as it can vary by location and season.
What country was eggnog originated in?
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".
How many calories in an 8 ounce glass of eggnog?
There are approximately 223 calories in a cup or 8 ounces of eggnog.
Does anybody sell eggnog out of season?
Yes, some retailers and specialty stores sell eggnog out of season, often in response to consumer demand. Additionally, certain brands may offer shelf-stable versions that are available year-round. However, traditional eggnog is most commonly associated with the holiday season, so it may be less readily available outside of that time.
Eggnog can be enjoyed by kids in moderation, especially when made with non-alcoholic ingredients. It's important to ensure that the eggnog is pasteurized to reduce the risk of foodborne illness. Additionally, parents should be mindful of the sugar content and consider alternatives if their child has dietary restrictions or allergies. Overall, it can be a festive treat when prepared safely.
Does eggnog have an expiration date if not on label?
If eggnog does not have a specific expiration date on the label, it is generally safe to consume within 5 to 7 days after opening, provided it has been kept refrigerated. Unopened eggnog may last for several weeks past the "sell by" date, but it's best to check for signs of spoilage, such as off odors or changes in texture. Always use your senses to assess its freshness, and when in doubt, it's safer to discard it.
