What is Mayonnaise Eggnog? Hellmann's teams up with Cody Goldstein to give traditional holiday drink a twist

Inspired by the traditional Eggnog, the Mayonnaise Eggnog is an improvised cocktail that turns your regular eggnog vegetarian-friendly.

Unlike the traditional eggnog, which contains egg yolks for a smooth and frothy texture, the mayonnaise-based eggnog makes use of veg mayo to achieve similar results. Eggnog has been a part of the holiday tradition since the 1700s and is a common holiday drink across the country.

Eggless eggnog is a great alternative for vegetarians. In a bid to encourage more people to try the mayo-based eggnog cocktails, Hellmann's is teaming up with Cody Goldstein for a limited-time improved version of Mayonnaise Eggnog.

For those unaware, Cody Goldstein is a New York-based mixologist and a nominee for NYC's best bartender. Cody runs an experimental mixology company called 'Muddling Memories' in Brooklyn, New York, along with his wife Camille Goldstein.

The pair have been popular for their years of experience in the hospitality industry, and are also known for making some of the best cocktails.

Hellman's Mayo-based cocktail is available at Amy Fontaine's bar in New York for $16

A drink for the holiday season, eggnog is made by combining milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks, whipped egg whites, and a number of spirits and light alcohol to create a cocktail that warms you up during the cold wintery holidays.

Mayonnaise Eggnog, on the other hand, replaces the egg with mayo, thus giving it its name.

Through the partnership with NYC-based mixologists, Hellmann's will provide an easy-to-follow recipe so you can make your own version of the mayo-based eggnog at home.

But if making it on your own seems like a hassle, you can also try out the cocktail at Amy Fontaine's bar in New York City. Hellman's Mayo-based cocktail is available in the NYC bar for $16, and will only be available until December 15.

The Mayo-based Eggnog can only be ordered for dine-in services and is not available for underage people. Underage customers can request a non-alcoholic version of the eggnog to enjoy the warm holiday flavors through the mayo-based cocktail.
