Egg Egg is an ingrained New Year's drink in the USA, which in Russian is described as a “drunk noggy-mogul.” If the designations “creamy”, “sweet”, “spicy” and “heady” are to your liking, in this case it is necessary to try the classic recipe of this drink on a gala winter evening.
What is egg foot
"Egg legs" is translated from English as "egg pot". This is a sweet mix based on milk and raw chicken eggs. A cocktail is prepared with both alcohol and alcohol-free. The “foot” is a picky ale that was initially used in the manufacture of the drink. At present, whiskey, rum, brandy, liquor, wine are used as alcohol-containing impurities according to the prescription egg leg. Everything is up to you. Egg of feet is the closest relative of the Gogol-Mughal cocktail common in the Slavic states.
From the history of occurrence
Egg leg recipe was invented in Scotland, and in the native land for the most part the drink is made for Christmas celebrations. The cocktail received special fame in England, America, France. The most often drink is served as a dessert at meetings, parties and expensive parties. In the Slavic powers, the egg leg is quite infrequent in cocktail cards of restaurants.
The recipe egg foot won the pinnacle of fame in the United States when, in the 19th century, bartender Jerry Thomas published several recipes for the drink in his popular book, where he replaced rum and milk. In the interpretation of Jerry, the drink is made without heating. And he repeatedly emphasized the fact that in Scotland they came up with a hot egg-leg cocktail, and the egg-leg drink is an American matter. In general, there is a difference.
But in a similar version, the egg-leg recipe in 2012 was excluded from the International Register of the Barman Association. The specific basis is unknown, probably due to countless cooking options that claim to be authentic. And now there are more than 5 dozen variations of them.
Strong alcohol (rum, brandy, whiskey) in the Christmas cocktail began to add in the United States. In Italy, cherry syrup is added; in Germany, eggs were replaced with egg liqueur. Everyone can come up with their own method of preparation, replacing one alcohol with another, for example, rum with vodka, or add fruit or nut syrup. There are many variations of making a cocktail, but, as a rule, they change the alcohol-containing components and the combination of spices.
