Classic American Eggnog
Ingredients
  • 1 cup brandy
  • 1/2 cup sherry wine
  • 1/2 cup Jamaican rum
  • 1/2 cup whiskey
  • 12 eggs, separated
  • 3/4 cup white sugar
  • 1 quart whole milk
  • 1 quart heavy cream
  • 1 quart vanilla ice cream, for serving
  • 1 tablespoon freshly grated ground nutmeg, for garnish
Instructions
1
Combine the brandy, sherry, rum, and whiskey in a large mixing vessel.
2
Separate the egg yolks and egg whites into two distinct, spacious containers. Set the egg whites aside for now.
3
Beat the egg yolks until they become aerated and fluffy. Gradually incorporate the sugar into the egg mixture, resulting in a lighter hue.
4
Slowly blend the liquor mixture into the egg yolks while continuing to mix.
5
With the mixer still in operation, gradually pour in the milk and heavy cream until a uniform consistency is achieved.
6
Using a clean beater, whip the egg whites into soft peaks.
7
Gently combine the egg whites with the milk mixture using a gentle folding motion.
8
Pour the mixture into two large, airtight containers designed for refrigeration.
9
Refrigerate the mixture for at least 5 days, or up to 10 days if you prefer a smoother flavor.
10
Occasionally shake the container to prevent the alcohol from separating.
11
To serve, pour the eggnog into a large serving vessel.
12
Whisk the mixture to blend the ingredients, then add a quart of vanilla ice cream and garnish with nutmeg.
