RECIPE: Classic Rum Egg Nog
 For those counting their calories, Mount Gay Eclipse is delicious sipping rum straight up. |
It’s Saturday. If you’re entertaining this weekend and still haven’t come up with that special holiday cocktail, how about that universal favorite, classic egg nog? An American invention based on a European milk-and-wine recipe (Colonials added the rum, a New World spirit, and in the late 19th century, Bourbon), egg nog not only tastes great, it has domestic roots (although unless you live in Kentucky or the Caibbean, it doesn’t count as locavore). Check out the egg nog recipe, courtesy of Mount Gay Eclipse Barbados Rum (a splendid light amber rum you should get to know), and also drink in the egg nog history and trivia. George Washington, a big egg nog fan, added not only rum but rye whiskey (another American invention) to his nog.
