Classic Aged Spiked Eggnog
Active Time: 15 minutes
Time to Age: 14 Days minimum

Yield: 8 - 10 servings

INGREDIENTS
• 12 large eggs, 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 Jamaican rum
• 1 cup cognac
• 1 cup bourbon
• 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

PROCEDURE
• Separate the eggs and store the whites for another application.
• 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.
