What does EGGNOG mean in Scrabble?
noun
North American
A thick festive drink of beaten eggs, milk or cream and sugar, often spiked with rum, brandy or whisky.
Eggnog is served chilled or warm and dusted with nutmeg, and in North America it is closely tied to the Christmas season. Shops sell a ready-made alcohol-free version in cartons from late autumn. The nog part is thought to come from an old English word for a strong ale, which suggests the drink began as a spiced alcoholic cup.
