Description

We're getting our cozy winter on, while we talk about the popular winter holiday drink Eggnog.  Turns out it has nothing to do with Yule and is pretty darn American (even if there are some European origins in there).  Join us as we discuss some of the wild history of Eggnog and the alcohol and plants associated with it!

Eggnog... it's eggs.... and alcohol?  One of those love it or hate it beverages, Eggnog's origins come from a non alcoholic beverage made by Monks.  On this episode we talk about why we chose the alcohol we do for Eggnog, where the drink comes from, and give a little synopsis of some of the plants associated with creating this drink (which we will go into more detail about later).  Look out for our next episode on Champagne, which is also a holiday themed episode for New Years.  Hope you're drinking up on these cold winter days!
