A Cup of Holiday Cheer


This homeade egg nog is perfect for all your upcoming holiday parties. Even people that don't normally like egg nog love it. Way better than the stuff you buy at the store!

Egg Nog

6 eggs, separated
3/4 c. sugar
1 pint heavy cream
1/2 gallon milk (I use 2%)
1/3 c. Southern Comfort (more or less)
1/3 c. Captain Morgan (more or less)
1 T. vanilla
Pinch of nutmeg & cinnamon

In a bowl, beat the egg yolks with 1/2 c. of sugar until thick. In another bowl, with mixer, beat the egg whites with 1/4 c. sugar until thick (almost like meringue). In third bowl whisk the cream until thick. Add the cream to the yolks and whisk in the egg whites until well incorporated. Whisk in the milk, alcohol (more or less to taste), vanilla, cinnamon & nutmeg. Chill in freezer before serving. Makes about 1 gallon.
