Eggnog

Eggnog is a rich, sweet, creamy holiday drink built from milk, cream, sugar and beaten eggs, perfumed with grated nutmeg and a little cinnamon and served cold in a cup or punch glass. Thick and custard-like, it tastes of sweet cream and warm baking spice, and although it is famously spiked with rum, brandy or bourbon it is just as often poured and enjoyed without alcohol — and it is that non-alcoholic custard drink that this page describes.

by taste profile
Thick, sweet and custard-like, coating the mouth with rich dairy fat and a faint eggy savour. The dominant smell is sweet cream and cooked custard lifted by warm baking spice — grated nutmeg first, then cinnamon and a touch of vanilla — with a gentle honeyed sweetness and almost no acidity or bitterness.
