Infrequently (nay, never) have eggs and liquor been married into such a winning combination. But the pairing of egg and nog (British slang for strong ale) have become a loved and hated holiday tradition since the early nineteenth century.
The recipe -- which relies upon dairy, eggs, sugar, nutmeg and alcohol (typically whiskey, rum or brandy) -- was once used to toast to one's health but has since evolved to become a Christmas tradition. Get in the spirit with our recommended recipe.
If there's one thing to be said about eggnog, it's that it sparks a spirited love-hate debate. Do you enjoy a glass of it during the holidays or are you appalled by the thought of drinking raw egg? Weigh in, in the comments!

With all the holidays coming up, we here at Slashfood want to help you celebrate and share some recipes with you. Hot or cold they're all good, and just the thing to put you in a party mood. Some of my favorites are hot drinks like mulled cider with rum and mulled wine. They're easy to make and you can control how strong they are, so you don't get obliterated at the beginning of your party, or fall asleep on your guests late at night.
