The traditional eggnog drink has been around for a long time and is a holiday favorite for many around the world. Some believe it was used for medicinal purposes back in the 1500s prior to becoming a traditional holiday drink in the 1820s. Eggnog, also known as Egg Flip, is typically made up of spices, raw eggs and sugar. Add in some finely chopped peppermint candy and you will have your own homemade Peppermint Eggnog.
