⁉️ FAQ

Do you have questions about this recipe? Here are the answers to the most commonly asked questions.

Where does eggnog come from?

It can be traced back to medieval Britain to a drink called “posset”. It was a hot drink that combined ale and milk as a base.

Why do shots get you drunk faster?

They actually don’t get you drunk faster, you consume them faster. The sweetness masks the alcohol, making it easier for you to lose track of your consumption.

Can you add too much alcohol to pudding shots?

You sure can, and if you do, your shots will be runny and gross rather than thick, rich, and delicious.
