Number Of Ingredients 8

6 large eggs, separated
3/4 cup(s) superfine sugar
2 cup(s) whole milk
3 cup(s) heavy cream, plus more for garnish
1/2 cup(s) bourbon, preferably maker's mark
1/4 cup(s) dark rum, preferably mount gay
1/4 cup(s) cognac, preferably remi martin grand cru
- freshly grated nutmeg, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Beat yolks in a very large bowl until thick and pale. Slowly beat in sugar. --- I did not have a superfine sugar so we put it in the Vita-mix and it worked out great. Whisk in milk and cream.
  • Mix in 3 choices of alcohol of bourbon, rum, and Cognac. (Cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 day.) --- If not refrigerating overnight, just put some ice in the nog for 10 minutes or so to get nice and cold and strain out the ice immediately.
  • Just before serving, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into the eggnog mixture. Whisk remaining 1 cup cream until stiff peaks form, and fold into eggnog. (Alternatively, you can fold half the whipped cream into eggnog, and top with remaining half.) Sprinkle with nutmeg. --- We did this 1/2 and 1/2 along with topping of the fresh nutmeg.
  • Cook's Note The egg yolks and whites in this recipe are not cooked. This dish should not be prepared for pregnant women, the elderly, or anyone whose health is compromised.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make all the difference in the taste of your eggnog.
  • Chill your ingredients before using them. This will help to create a smooth and creamy eggnog.
  • Use a blender or food processor to mix your eggnog. This will help to ensure that it is well-blended and smooth.
  • Strain your eggnog before serving. This will remove any lumps or pieces of ice.
  • Garnish your eggnog with whipped cream, nutmeg, or cinnamon. This will add a festive touch to your drink.
