For a limited time through the holidays, Lincoln Road Roastery is offering an eggnog latte. The latte is made with steamed eggnog and espresso with a little holiday spice on top. This drink can be made hot or iced. The latte can be customized with all of our flavors and goes great with vanilla, maple syrup, honey and a sprinkle of nutmeg.
What is eggnog anyway? Eggnog was invented In medieval Britain as an alcoholic drink containing milk and beer, as well as a variety of spices and bread crumbs, usually served hot. Later, figs and eggs were added. Eggnog was popular around Christmas time because it was a hot drink, and because it contained alcohol like ale, beer or rum. Blended with spices like nutmeg and ginger, eggnog was a very warming drink for both body and spirit. Today, eggnog is made with milk, cream, sugar, eggs, and a variety of spices including cinnamon and nutmeg. It can be enjoyed with or without alcohol and is still popular during Thanksgiving, Christmas or New Years. A hot eggnog latte is the perfect way to warm up during the holiday season. Stop by and get one before Christmas shopping, ice skating, or enjoying a horse drawn carriage ride in beautiful downtown Pikeville!
See you soon!
