    Does this imply that American eggnog is alcoholic? I was told eggnog is what we call kogel mogel, which is just whipped egg and sugar, basically.

      Yup, usually with brandy, rum, or cognac. You can buy it without alcohol but (at least in my experience) only kids really drink it that way.

        I have drank about 6 gallons of eggnog this holiday season. None of it has had alchol in it. Judging from how it sells at the grocery store only about 1/6th of eggnog is alcoholic

      FWIK the general ingredients used in the US are milk, cream, whipped egg white, egg yolk, sugar, and nutmeg. The consistency is also usually close to what melted ice cream would be.

        I looked it up afterwards and yes, US eggnog is different from kogel mogel. For the latter you just whip egg with sugar and you’re done. Former is much more involved, requires heating milk and stuff.
