2 c whole milk
3 c heavy cream, plus more for garnish
1/2 c bourbon, preferably maker's mark
1/4 c dark rum, preferably mount gay
1/4 c cognac, preferably remi martin grand cru
freshly grated nutmeg, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • 1. Beat yolks in a very large bowl until thick and pale. Slowly beat in sugar. --- I did not have a superfine sugar so we put it in the Vita-mix and it worked out great. Whisk in milk and cream.
  • 2. Mix in 3 choices of alcohol of bourbon, rum, and Cognac. (Cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 day.) --- If not refrigerating overnight, just put some ice in the nog for 10 minutes or so to get nice and cold and strain out the ice immediately.
  • 3. Just before serving, beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into the eggnog mixture. Whisk remaining 1 cup cream until stiff peaks form, and fold into eggnog. (Alternatively, you can fold half the whipped cream into eggnog, and top with remaining half.) Sprinkle with nutmeg. --- We did this 1/2 and 1/2 along with topping of the fresh nutmeg.
  • 4. Cook's Note The egg yolks and whites in this recipe are not cooked. This dish should not be prepared for pregnant women, the elderly, or anyone whose health is compromised.

MARTHA STEWART'S EGGNOG

This eggnog's rich, cloud like texture is produced by separating the eggs and beating the whites before adding them to the milk mixture. The eggnog base can be made one day in advance; just beat in the stiff egg whites and whipped cream just before serving.
