What is eggnog?

Eggnog is traditionally a chilled Christmas beverage consisting of a homogeneous blend of milk or cream, beaten eggs, sugar, nutmeg and usually liquor of some kind.  *source.The New Food Lover’s Companion, second addition.

What kind of liquor do you put in eggnog?

Rum is was the liquor noted in early references to the drink but brandy and whiskey are also common additions.  I like a blend of brandy and rum but mix it up and make this recipe your own. *source.The New Food Lover’s Companion, second addition.

OR use this eggnog recipe as a base for when you make an eggnog martini! It doesn’t get more festive than that!

Can eggnog give you salmonella?

This eggnog recipe is a cooked eggnog recipe. Salmonella can be killed by bringing the poultry or egg to 160 for a short amount of time or hold the poultry or egg at a lower temperature 140, for a longer time. The beauty of a sous vide eggnog is that by holding the eggnog at 144 for an hour, any salmonella that may be present, will be killed.

Is eggnog served hot or cold?

Traditionally eggnog is served cold and frothy. The alcohol is added when it is served but eggnog can be added to warm drinks such as lattes for a warm winter drink.
