- Fill with cider, mix well, strain into a long punch-glass, and grate a little nutmeg on top.
Garnish: Grated nutmeg
- Nose
- Cider and nutmeg make the drink smell autumnal and lighter than milk-based noggs.
- Palate
- This is an orchard-side nogg, with egg smoothing the cider rather than milk carrying the texture.
- Finish
- The finish is appley, softly spiced, and smooth.
- Summary
- A cider-based egg-nogg bridging festive nogg and orchard refreshment traditions.
Kappeler explicitly notes that this is also known as General Harrison Egg-Nogg, which helps tie the broader nogg family back to already-circulating named variants.
