Instructions
Prepare Egg Yolks:
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to beat the egg yolks with the sugar until the mixture is thick and pale yellow.
Add Bourbon and Brandy:
- With the mixer on low speed, slowly add the bourbon and brandy to the yolk mixture, blending until smooth. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for several hours to develop flavors.
- Whip Egg Whites:
- Add salt to the egg whites in a clean bowl and beat until they form almost stiff peaks. This will add a light, airy texture to the eggnog.
Whip the Cream:
- In another bowl, whip the heavy cream until soft peaks form.
Combine Ingredients:
- Gently fold the whipped egg whites and whipped cream into the chilled eggnog base, stirring lightly until smooth and frothy.
Serve and Garnish:
- Pour into punch cups or glasses and sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg on top of each serving.
