Aged Eggnogfrom: altonsource: hereALL (0) >>INVENTORY<<

Recipe

  • 12 large yolks, pasteurized if you need peace of mind

  • 1 pound sugar

  • 1 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg

  • 1 pint half-and-half

  • 1 pint whole milk

  • 1 pint heavy cream

  • 1 cup (8oz) Jamaican rum

  • 1 cup (8oz) cognac

  • 1 cup (8oz) bourbon

  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

Directions

  • 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.
  • Combine dairy, booze, and salt in a second bowl or pitcher and then slowly beat into the egg mixture.
  • 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, but I’ve just never been able to wait that long. And yes, you can also drink it right away.
  • Serve in mugs or cups topped with a little extra nutmeg grated on top.
