BUTTERSCOTCH SCOTCH EGGNOG
In this recipe, the smoky Scotch makes the eggnog more complex and gives it a savory taste, which goes nicely with the caramelized flavor of the brown sugar. If you're wary of using raw eggs, here's a version with a cooked custard base.

Steps:
- In a large bowl, combine the yolks, brown sugar, vanilla and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Using an electric mixer beat on medium-high speed until thick and dark golden, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and slowly drizzle in the milk, Scotch and brandy. Transfer to the freezer to chill while preparing the rest of the eggnog. (Or refrigerate for at least 2 hours before completing.)
- In a medium bowl, whip the cream on medium-high speed until soft peaks form. Set aside. In another medium bowl, using clean beaters, whip the egg whites and pinch of salt on medium-high speed, adding the sugar by tablespoons until soft peaks form.
- When ready to serve, pour the yolk mixture into a large punchbowl. Fold in a small amount of whipped cream to lighten it, then fold in the remaining cream. Fold in the egg whites. Generously dust the top with nutmeg; serve immediately.

Steps:
- Heat the milk to a slow boil in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. While waiting for the milk to heat, in a large bowl, whisk the yolks and brown sugar until thick. When milk has reached a low boil, turn off the heat, and whisking constantly, slowly pour the milk into the yolks mixture until fully incorporated. Whisk in the salt.
- Return the mixture to the pot and turn up the heat to medium. Cook, stirring constantly, with a spatula or wooden spoon, scraping the bottom and sides of the pot, until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, 5 to 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into a large bowl and allow to cool. Chill eggnog for at least an hour and up to 2 days.
- Just before serving, whip the cream until soft peaks form and fold it into the custard. Add the whiskey, brandy and vanilla. Garnish with nutmeg and serve.

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. This will make your eggnog taste the best.
- Make sure your eggs are at room temperature. This will help them blend smoothly into the other ingredients.
- Don't overbeat the eggs. Overbeating can make the eggnog curdle.
- Gradually add the sugar. This will help prevent the eggnog from becoming too sweet.
- Chill the eggnog before serving. This will help it develop its full flavor.
- Garnish the eggnog with whipped cream, grated nutmeg, or cinnamon. This will make it look and taste even more festive.
