Eggnog is a crowd pleaser during the holiday season! Eggnog is a beverage that is constantly requested during the winter season! No Christmas should occur without eggnog, especially this degree of flavor and spirit! Pun intended!

  • 6 large eggs, separated
  • 3/4 cup of superfine sugar
  • 2 cups of whole milk
  • 3 cups of heavy cream, plus extra for garnish
  • 1/2 cup of bourbon
  • 1/4 cup of dark rum
  • 1/4 cup of Cognac
  • Freshly grated nutmeg, for sprinkling 

DIRECTIONS:

  1. Beat egg yolks in a very large bowl until thick and pale. Slowly bean in sugar. Whisk in milk and 2 cups of cream. Mix in bourbon, rum, and Cognac. Cover and refrigerate for up to one day.
