Eggnog is a traditional drink made during the winter holiday season. It’s creamy, sweet, and has a nice foam with a lovely punch of oak and whiskey. When it is made right, it feels like you’re stepping into a Charles Dickens novel.
Now the “first peanut whiskey” is bringing back its pre-made eggnog to market. Skrewball is based out of San Diego, California. The origins of the whiskey started as a peanut butter shot at the owner’s bar in Ocean Beach, part of San Diego.
A list of ingredients for a traditional Eggnog, for reference, are: six large egg yolks, ½ cup of granulated sugar, 1 cup of heavy whipping cream, 2 cups milk, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, pinch of salt, ¼ teaspoon vanilla, ground cinnamon, ¼ cup bourbon. Served in a big mixing bowl and ladled into small cups with a dusting of cinnamon or nutmeg on top.
In press release by Skrewball, “Eggnog is the top holiday cocktail in more than half of the United States – and for many, their holiday spread isn’t even complete without the spirit,” said Skrewball Whiskey co-founders Steven and Brittany Yeng. “We know the holidays are often a busy time period, and we wanted to simplify getting eggnog on the table or gifting a unique alcoholic beverage for our Skrewball family by creating a new ready-to-serve option that offers a unique twist to match the holiday spirit.”
