Creamy Holiday

El Sherry Eggnog es un lujoso cóctel de invierno donde el sabor del vino de jerez se añade al tradicional eggnog. Huevos, crema, leche y jerez se combinan para crear un sabor suave y rico como el terciopelo, especialmente apreciado en Navidad y Año Nuevo.

History & Origins

Eggnog has deep roots in British and American holiday culture, descending from medieval possets — hot drinks made with milk, eggs, and ale or wine. The substitution of sherry for ale reflects 18th and 19th-century British drinking customs when sherry was among the most widely consumed fortified wines. The Sherry Eggnog's origin is disputed, though sherry-based eggnog recipes appear in American bartending guides from the 19th century onward.

Tasting Notes

Aroma: Cream sherry's dried fruit and nutty oxidative notes alongside warm nutmeg and a rich, creamy milk character. Palate: Silky and sweet, with the sherry's raisin and hazelnut flavors complementing the egg and milk's richness; nutmeg adds a festive spice accent. Finish: Smooth, sweet, and gently spiced with a lingering sherry warmth.

creamy nutty spiced sweet rich

Pro Tip

Grate fresh whole nutmeg over the top rather than using pre-ground for a more fragrant, aromatic finish.
