All About Eggnog
Here are some interesting facts about Eggnog.
- It’s an old drink, dating back to sometime (exact date unknown), in the Medieval times. It originated from a popular drink back then, called the posset.
- George Washington LOVED it and served it at his Christmas Parties. He made sure his included brandy, whiskey, Jamaican rum and sherry, among all the other normal ingredients.
- Eggnog is also sometimes called Hells Angel.
- When Starbucks previously removed the Eggnog Latte, they got a lot of flack for it and eventually had to bring it back more frequently. Well, now they may be removing it again, so you definitely NEED to learn to make this Starbucks Copycat drink recipe!
Recipe Variations
Skip the milk and add more eggnog– Starbucks had a version “heavy eggnog” or “full eggnog” where they skipped the milk and replaced it with eggnog. We like the extra creaminess the milk provides, but you can do either.
Add alcohol– if you’re preparing this for those of legal drinking age, you can add some of your favorite alcohol to it. We recommend brandy, whiskey, rum or cognac.
Did Starbucks Get Rid of The Eggnog Latte?
Unfortunately, it looks like they are not bringing this back for the 2021 holiday drinks season. While this is unfortunate for many who visit the coffee chain, it is NOT a problem for those of you who choose to learn from this recipe and become a home barista to make your own Hot Eggnog Latte recipe.
Can I Use Storebought Eggnog?
Sure, if you don’t have the time to make your own eggnog, you sure can use the stuff from the carton. We are biased in thinking that our homemade eggnog is superior though. 🙂
How Long Is This Latte Good For?
We recommend consuming it while still hot for the best flavor.
