Mocha Nog Punch – Friday’s 5 o’clock Wet Your Whistle Call!

 
Mocha Nog
Eggnog may have its beginnings in the “Old World” but leave it to Americans to put a new twist on an old theme. Rum was used in the place of wine. In Colonial America, rum was commonly called “grog”, so it seems likely that the name eggnog  was derived from the very descriptive term for this drink, “egg-and-grog”, which evolved to egg’n’grog and then to the present day version of eggnog. Sounds good to me!

Micheladas – Friday’s 5 o’clock Wet Your Whistle Call!

Micheladas!
 

In it’s simplest terms, it’s really a Beer Bloody Mary. According to Wikipedia, the word Michelada is the combination of the words “mix” and “chela” The word “chela” is a popular way to call a beer in Mexico. It comes from the English word “chill”.

Others argue that it stands for “Mi Chela Helada”, meaning “My cold beer”. The most likely source, however, comes from the word “Michelob.” Continue reading →
