Part 8/8:
After several days of aging, the moment arrives to taste the eggnog. With a lighter, creamier texture compared to modern counterparts, Washington's boozy version presents a delightful surprise. The exploration of its rich flavors combined with seasonal spices enhances the tasting experience, inviting those who appreciate eggnog, whether by tradition or taste.
As the holiday season rolls around, this historical beverage connects us not only to the past but also to each other.
To close, as originally expressed by Washington himself, “We remain in Status quo and all unite in offering you, and yours, the compliments of the season, and the return of many, many more happy ones.”
May your holidays be merry and infused with the spirit of eggnog, whether you love it or leave it!
