The best egg nog you'll ever make

Servings: 8 to 10

Servings: 8-10
Ingredients
  • 12 Large eggs
  • 1 pound sugar
  • 1 teaspoon nutmeg
  • 1 pint half-and-half
  • 1 pint whole milk
  • 1 pint heavy cream
  • 1 cup Jamaican dark rum
  • 1 cup cognac
  • 1 cup bourbon
  • ¼ teaspoon kosher salt
Steps
  1. Separate the eggs and store the whites for another application.
  2. Beat the yolks with the sugar and nutmeg in a large mixing bowl until the mixture lightens in color and falls off the whisk in a solid ribbon.
  3. Combine dairy, booze, and salt in a second bowl or pitcher and then slowly beat into the egg mixture.
  4. Move to a large glass jar (or a couple of smaller ones) and store in the fridge for a minimum of 2 weeks. A month would be better, and 2 better still. In fact, there’s nothing that says you couldn’t age it a year. And yes, you can also drink it right away.
  5. Serve in mugs or cups topped with a little extra nutmeg grated on top.
Notes
  • I've had some that I aged for 3+ years and it was just as good as day one.
