eggnog
The Italian word for eggnog is eggnog.
eggnog refers to a rich, creamy dairy drink that is often flavored with nutmeg and typically served during the winter holidays.
Did you know?
- While eggnog is known in international contexts, Italians more commonly enjoy zabaione, a dessert cream made of egg yolks and sugar that is similar in ingredients but different in use.
- Unlike eggnog which is often a chilled beverage, the Italian zabaione is traditionally whisked over a bagnomaria or double boiler to create a warm, airy foam.
- In Italy, creamy egg-based drinks like zabaione are often served with a splash of Marsala wine rather than the rum or bourbon typically found in eggnog.
