Tis the season to drink
Around the world, Christmas is a time to indulge in holiday cocktails and other beverages, from eggnog to ponche navideño. As we countdown to December 25, here are five traditional drinks and a bit about their origins to get you in the spirit.
1. Eggnog
This traditional drink originated in early medieval Britain as a hot, milky, ale-like drink. Today it's a luscious and creamy beverage made of milk, eggs and sugar that many in the West crave when December rolls around as it often brings back childhood Christmas memories. What's more is that eggnog can easily be adapted to be alcoholic or even vegan, prepared with cashew milk, so there's no excuse not to have some this season.
