Interesting Eggnog Facts By Brian Rosso, R.D. Happy holidays! I hope you enjoy these interesting facts about eggnog. Eggnog is also known as: Coquito in Puerto Rico. Rompope in Mexico. Biersuppe in German. One cup of eggnog contains 342 calories, 34 grams of carbohydrates and 19 grams of fat. The main ingredients of eggnog are: cream, milk, eggs (pasteurized eggs are the safest the only kind used at American House), sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg and alcohol, if you choose. Enjoy some eggnog this holiday season! Gerry!!... Marcy looking beautiful in her mask. 4. Custom 5. Campanulas 6. Day of festivity 7. Annual Christian celebration 11. Penny-pincher 13.
