IMHO this is the single best eggnog recipe I've ever had. I've had it with both cognac and rum, never with brandy or whisky, though I suspect Jack Daniels would be wonderful for this. Ingredients:
12 eggs, separated |
1 cup sugar |
3 pints half-and-half |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 tablespoon nutmeg |
1/2 cup rum or 1/2 cup cognac or 1/2 cup brandy or 1/2 cup whiskey |
Directions:
1. Whip yolks until yellow and thick.
2. Add sugar gradually, blending as you go, until thick and well-blended (on high in the mixer).
3. Add half-and-half little-by-little. Add vanilla, nutmeg and alcohol. Blend well.
4. Beat whites of eggs until stiff peaks form.
5. Add to yolk mixture. Strain into pitcher and serve.
6. NOTES : You may increase the vanilla up to 1 tablespoon and the alcohol up to 1 cup, as desired.
