Don's Friend Tonja's Cousin Toni's Boyfriend's Grandmother's Eggnog

By: Don

"Tonja was born in the 1940's and this is her cousin Toni's boyfriend's grandmother's eggnog, so I'm guessing this is from the mid-1800's and probably dates much earlier. The original recipe called for half milk and half cream, but I use half and half. Delicious and simple, but be warned, Granny apparently liked a kick! I've made it from scratch and with the modern equivalents and it's fantastic either way. Do yourself a favor and use a mixer for everything. Those who like eggnog LOVE this recipe. I never leave a party with leftovers."

Original Recipe Yield 1 gallon

Ingredients

6 eggs
1 1/4 cups white sugar
1 quart bourbon
1 cup rum
2 quarts half-and-half cream
2 teaspoons ground nutmeg, or amount to taste
1 pint heavy whipping cream

Directions

In a large bowl, beat the eggs and sugar with an electric mixer until thick and pale, about 5 minutes. Gradually stir in the bourbon, rum, half and half and nutmeg.
In a separate chilled bowl, whip the cream until it can stand in a peak. Fold the whipped cream into the egg mixture. Pour into a plastic container and refrigerate overnight (if possible). Shake the container before serving.
