Ingredients
  

  • 12 eggs, FRESH, cold
  • 1 quart whipping cream, cold
  • 1 16 ounces powdered sugar, 10X
  • 1 cup bourbon, chilled (I prefer Markers Mark. Avoid using blended whiskey. Bourbon is a straight whiskey. Also note you can substitute with dark rum or brandy.)

Garnishes

  • nutmeg
  • peppermint sticks
  • crushed peppermint, Line the rim of the glass or sprinkle on top,
  • cinnamon sticks or powdered cinnamon

Instructions
 

  • Wash bowls, mixer attachments, and pitcher thoroughly with hot water.
  • In two separate mixing bowls, separate the egg yolks from the egg whites. In a third mixing bowl, add the cold whipping cream.
  • With a hand mixer on medium speed, mix the egg yolks until they turn a lovely custard yellow. Slowly beat in the bourbon until just combined. Set aside.
  • Rinse the mixer attachments. Beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Slowly mix in the powdered sugar until it is well blended. Set aside.
  • Again, rinse the mixer attachments. On high-speed, mix the whipping cream until stiff peaks are formed. Gently fold the egg white mixture into the whipped cream mixture. Then, gently fold in the beaten egg yolks until the color is solid.
  • Pour into a punch bowl or a pitcher. Serve with a silver spoon.
  • Garnish with peppermint sticks, crushed peppermint, a cinnamon stick, powdered cinnamon, a sprinkle of nutmeg, or Sparkling Charm Sugared Cranberries.

Notes

Eggnog can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days in an airtight container. Simply give it a stir before serving.  
Leftovers can be frozen and eaten as ice cream.
FRESH EGGS NECESSARY! To make sure your eggs are fresh, place an egg in in cold water. If it floats or stands it is not fresh. The egg should lay sideways.
