📜 History

The Baltimore Eggnog appears in Jerry Thomas's 1862 bartending guide, making it one of America's oldest documented eggnog recipes. It distinguishes itself from standard eggnogs by including Madeira wine alongside brandy and rum. The combination creates a more complex, fortified flavor profile befitting Maryland's colonial port heritage, where Madeira was a commonly imported wine.
