Egg Nog

I made this last year and it was a huge hit, I should have made more :haha: I didn't make it this year and everyone was ticked. However, I have to do xmas again this coming weekend so maybe...

Dr. Grafton Tyler's Egg Nog

First made in Washington, DC, circa 1903

Ingredients:

1 Qt Whipping Cream
1 Qt Bourbon Whiskey (bourbon, not sour mash)
1 Pt Whole Milk
1 Pt Brandy
1 Punch cup Rum
1 lb Pulverized sugar (Instant Dissolving)
12 Eggs

Makes about 1 1/2 gallons

Preparation:

1 Separate yolks & whites
2 Beat yolks until very light
3 Beat into the yolks, a little at a time, the sugar
4 Add slowly, the whiskey, brandy, & rum
5 Then add the milk
6 Then the whites of the eggs, beaten very stiff
7 Cream must be thick & beaten until as light as eggs, add last & mix thoroughly


I only put in about a 3rd of the whiskey it called for and it was strong as it was. I also made some for the girls that didn't have any alcohol in it and it was good as well. Also, I sprinkled nutmeg on top of each individual cup/glass. It was very good.

I gotta try that recipe


Usually I just buy a carton of egg nog at the store

and spike it with tons of booze

Bourbon? :puke2:
I think I'd substitute bourbon for Irish whiskey. The only half-decent bourbon I've tried is Maker's Mark which costs more than Irish whiskey and it still tastes like bourbon

I'll sneak in some triple sec in one and give it to you - that would be terrible

I don't like whiskey so that's why I didn't put it all in, it was fine with what I used. I think I used Jim Beam, can't remember

Rye or whiskey?

I bought Jim Bean once when I was making a Manhattan since it technically calls for rye. Other than the fact rye costs a couple dollars more than non-rye Jim Bean and is harder to find I couldn't tell what the difference was.

I'll stick with Busmills/Jameson for my whiskey and Bombay Sapphire for my gin.

i honestly have never had egg nog... i plan on trying some tho in the future

Wait, you're too young
Besides, being drunk sucks. You get all tired and it's hard to do things. Screw that.

Maybe Guinness would work...maybe.

Guinness+Baileys+Jameson isn't too bad.

I have one glass of egg nog a year - on Christmas day.

Guinness would be OK


But I can't see putting Miller or Budweiser in Egg Nog


Probably if I did that

Beer is best by itself


or with some pretzels or bratwurst or pizza or a bar burger


But not Egg Nog
