History
The Baltimore Egg Nogg cocktail is a variation of the classic Egg Nogg cocktail, they both first appeared in 1862 in Jerry Thomas' "How to mix drinks". As stated above, the recipe originally calls for choosing between brandy and rum, as many do you can perfectly incorporate the 2 ingredients by dividing them equally.
Jerry Thomas tells us that the recipe for the Baltimore Egg Nogg is an excellent drink for the weakened and a nutritious diet for those suffering from tuberculosis.
