John makes this eggnog every year for our Christmas Eve party. He ladles it from a massive serving bowl. The next morning, our Christmas tradition is to add a splash of leftovers to our coffee. It takes the bite off the party from the night before, a little early-morning hair of the reindeer to help us get back into the holiday cheer. It's not a rare thing to see a neighbor amble over in a bathrobe and slippers with their coffee mug extended for their own little splash of John's holiday elixir!
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs, yolks and white separated
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon allspice
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup sugar, divided
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 cup bourbon
- 1 cup rum
Directions
- In a large bowl, combine the egg yolks, vanilla, cinnamon, allspice, salt, and half cup of the sugar. Whisk together.
- In a medium bowl, using a stand mixer or hand mixer, beat the egg whites on medium-high speed while gradually adding the remaining half cup of sugar. Continue to beat until stiff peaks form – this will take a couple of minutes.
- Gently fold the egg white mixture into the egg yolk mixture until combined.
- Slowly add the milk, heavy cream, bourbon, and rum. Stir until well combined.
- Chill and stir the eggnog again before serving.
