I'm making this on Saturday night for a party and I thought I'd share it here. Looks good! I probably will not use all this booze, I will play it safe and divide the whiskey by maybe 1/2. What do you think?

#THE EGGNOG TRADITION The American drink, eggnog, comes from a long line of English ancestors—custard posset, syllabub, one yard of flannel and auld man’s milk name a few. Until about 1870, it was served on many occasions, including Independence and Election Days. Although good at any season, it is now the traditional Christmas drink.
#EGGNOG 6 eggs, separated 1 pint brandy or whiskey ⅓ cup dark rum 1 pint milk ¾ cup sugar pint heavy cream Nutmeg
Beat egg yolks until thick. Gradually add and beat in brandy and rum. Stir in milk. Whip egg whites until stiff but not dry; gradually beat in sugar. Fold into brandy mixture. Whip cream and fold in. Chill about 3 hours. Pour into a chilled bowl and sprinkle with nutmeg. Makes about 24 servings.

As written you’re talking about 18 oz of booze for 24 servings. That’s not a lot. Cut that in half and it’s going to greatly affect the flavor.

Egg nog has its place, but I can’t imagine drinking it in July

Raw eggs? Interesting.
