What is Oatnog, let alone Eggnog? Here’s some history for you. Colonists referred to rum as grog; bartenders served rum in small wooden carved mugs called noggins. Thus the drink eventually became egg-n-grog and over time, Eggnog.
But why do we drink it at Christmas? Rum, Milk, Eggs, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and other components were delicacies, meaning this drink became an occasional treat. Treats of course come at Christmas, so this year, we decided to treat you with our own rendition of Oatnog. Simply replacing the dairy with delicious oats.
CHARITY DONATION
For every bottle of Oatnog sold, Black Lines will be donating five meals to Londoners through The Felix Project; a charity fighting hunger and food waste across London. A little goes a long way, especially at Christmas.
