It had a rich and creamy texture and mild coconut flavor.
The traditional nog flavors are spot on, but it was a little sweet.

The soy-based nog was also creamy and reminded us of regular soy milk.
Our resident almond milk drinker liked this one a lot.
The texture was creamy, but we weren’t getting a strong flavor of eggnog.
