is sometimes described as the spiked eggnog of Trinidad and Tobago. And sure, it has eggs in a creamy base, plus nutmeg, too. But this Christmas-time libation isn’t eggnog. It’s better.
Unlike eggnog, which can be cloying and one dimensional, ponche a crème has range. It sings with some of the island’s most intriguing ingredients: citrus, spice, rum. The heady presence of lime zest and the orangey-botanical notes found in Angostura bitters joust with the buttery heft of the eggs. Nutmeg’s warm and nutty sweetness leans into the drink’s creaminess.
Like many culinary traditions, Ponche a Crème doesn’t have a tidy lineage that can be succinctly pegged to a specific moment in history. It harkens back to a time when commodities such as milk, eggs, and spirits were enjoyed solely by aristocrats. During Caribbean colonialism, when sugar and slavery anchored the British presence in the West Indies, the combination of dairy and spirits became a drink enjoyed only by the elite, emblematic of prosperity and good fortune.
