One of the most popular drinks around the holiday season is eggnog. But where did the name eggnog come from? History offers differing versions as to the origins of the popular holiday beverage's name, but it is likely derived from combining one of its main ingredients, eggs, with the term "noggin," a reference to the small, wooden mugs used to serve drinks in European taverns.
Another popular theory offers that eggnog got its name by combining eggs with "grog," the term used for rum in Colonial America. Even George Washington was a big fan of eggnog. He concocted his own recipe featuring rye whiskey, rum and sherry.
