Ingredients
- 12 large Eggs
- 1.5 cups Granulated sugar
- 1 quart Heavy cream
- 1 quart Whole milk
- 1 pint Rum
- 0.5 pint Brandy
- 0.5 pint Rye whiskey
- 0.25 pint Sherry
- 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
Directions
Step 1
Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into two large mixing bowls.
Step 2
In the bowl with the egg yolks, add the granulated sugar and whisk together until the mixture is creamy and light in color.
Step 3
Slowly add the rum, brandy, rye whiskey, and sherry into the yolk mixture, stirring continuously to incorporate.
Step 4
Gradually whisk in the heavy cream and whole milk to the boozy yolk mixture. Stir to combine thoroughly.
Step 5
In the other mixing bowl, beat the egg whites until they form stiff peaks.
Step 6
Gently fold the whipped egg whites into the eggnog mixture, stirring just enough to combine. This will give the eggnog a frothy texture.
Step 7
Pour the eggnog into a large pitcher or punch bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or, for best results, overnight to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Before serving, sprinkle the top of the eggnog with ground nutmeg for garnish. Serve chilled in glasses or small mugs.
