could also be used-only the well-off could afford
the ingredients. Once the drink came to America,
rum was generally used because brandy and wine
were too expensive, especially given the heavy taxes
that England levied on these products. During the
Revolutionary War, our stock of rum started to get
low, so the colonists started using homemade whiskey
or moonshine.
Eggnog was quite popular during 18th-century
America. In fact even George Washington got in on
the game. A noted farmer and distiller, our first president
often served eggnog to guests at Mt. Vernon.
His personal (and quite alcohol-forward) recipe called
for cream, milk, sugar, brandy, rye whiskey, sherry
and Jamaican rum.
Eggnog has served a number of different purposes
over the years. It's been a refreshment, a way
to celebrate the holidays and a medicine. From the
medieval era through the 19th century, eggnog and
its early predecessors were used to treat the flu and
other sicknesses, to gather one's courage, and as a
defense against cold weather.
