Eggnog – Beverages and Drinks Recipes

Recipe ingredients and directions:

Beat separately until light in color

12 egg yolks

Beat in gradually

1 lb. confectioner’s sugar

Add very slowly, beating constantly

2 c. dark rum, brandy, bourbon, or rye

These liquors form the basis of the "nog", and you may choose one

variety or mix to taste; I prefer rum.

Let mixture stand covered for 1 hour to dispel the "eggy" taste.

Add, beating constantly,

2 to 4 cups of liquor (chosen as above; I use rum)

2 quarts whipping cream

1 cup peach brandy, if desired (I’ve never added it)

Refrigerate covered for 3 hours.

Beat until stiff but not dry

8 to 12 egg whites

Fold egg whites lightly into the other ingredients. Serve sprinkled

with fresh nutmeg and cinnamon to taste.

Yield is about 1 gallon.

This is a very rich, high-cholesterol, high-octane eggnog. If you use

4 cups of liquor in the second part, it will be *very* alcoholic; if

you only use 2 cups, it will still be pretty strong.
