Venezuelan Ponche Crema
Ponche crema is a Venezuelan liqueur that also gave its name to a similar homemade beverage. The liqueur is often called Venezuelan eggnogs as it is milk- and egg-based. This creamy liqueur was invented by Eliodoro González P. in the early 20th century.
However, it is known that it consists of milk, eggs, spices, and liquor. The combination has influenced the creation of numerous homemade versions that usually combine milk or condensed milk, eggs, vanilla, and nutmeg, along with rum, brandy, or cane spirit (aguardiente).
