2 d
Course Cocktail, Drinks
Cuisine American, English, Holiday

Ingredients
  

  • 13 eggs, separated (cover and refrigerate eggs)
  • 13 tabls sugar
  • 2 cups bourbon
  • 2 cups dark rum (such as Mount Gay)
  • 1 cup brandy
  • 1 quart half and half
  • 1 pint cream
  • grated nutmeg to tast

Instructions
 

  • Add the sugar to the yolks and whisk.
  • Sloooooowly at first, add two cups of bourbon, stirring constantly (yolks will “cook” if the liquor surprises them too fast). Afterward, okay to go faster.
  • Add two cups of dark rum and the brandy. Whisk to combine and dissolve the sugar.
  • Place mixture in fridge overnight, covered, and allow liquor & eggs to become acquainted.
  • The next day, strain the eggnog into a punch bowl.
  • Whisk in the half and half.
  • Whip the reserved egg whites until stiff, and fold into the mixture (use punch ladle to gently dunk the whites under the surface until combined).
  • Whip a cream until stiff, fold into mixture using same process.
  • Top with nutmeg and put back in fridge until time to serve.
  • Once you serve it, the cream/whites may need another minor dunking if any rises to the surface.
