What is nog?

Nog is a traditional holiday drink that is typically served during the winter season, especially during Christmas and New Year's Eve. It is a sweetened, spiced milk-based beverage that can be served hot or cold.

The main ingredients of nog include milk, cream, sugar, beaten egg yolks, and spices such as nutmeg and cinnamon. It can also be spiked with alcohol, such as rum or bourbon, for an added kick.

The origins of nog can be traced back to medieval Europe, where it was made with ale instead of milk and served cold. The drink eventually evolved over time to include milk and eggs, and became popular in colonial America during the 18th century.

Today, there are many variations of nog, including vegan and dairy-free versions. It remains a popular holiday drink, often served at parties and family gatherings.
