For a festive touch, try adding a dash of nutmeg./p h3When Did Egg Nog Become a Holiday Drink?/h3 pFor nearly a millennium, holiday celebrants have imbibed egg nog, since long before egg nog in a bottle, like Member’s Mark Egg Nog, existed. The drink originated in early medieval Britain as posset, a hot, milky, ale-like drink. By the 13th century, monks had developed a version incorporating eggs and figs. Because milk, eggs and sherry were foods of wealthy people, egg nog was often used to toast to prosperity and good health. Imagine, healthy egg nog!/p pIn the 1700s, egg nog hopped the pond to the American colonies and became tied to the holidays. American colonies, which contained many farms, had plenty of chickens and cows. In addition, they made cheaper rum, which soon became a signature ingredient of the best egg nog./p pThe origin of the name, however, remains a mystery. Some believe that nog comes from noggin, which means a wooden cup, combined with grog, meaning a strong beer. For whatever reason, by the late 18th century, the term egg nog had stuck./p h3All About the Member’s Mark Brand/h3 pAt Sam’s Club, we put our members first. That means you!
