Spirited Virginia Q4 2017 - 35

BOURBON AND
DARK RUM EGGNOG
▷ 9 LARGE EGGS,
SEPARATED, THE
WHITES AT ROOM
TEMPERATURE
▷ ¾ CUP SUGAR
▷ 4 CUPS HEAVY CREAM
▷ 1 CUP BOURBON
▷ ½ CUP DARK RUM
▷ 1 TSP. VANILLA
▷ 2 ½ CUPS MILK
▷ ¼ TSP. SALT
▷ GRATED CINNAMON
AND FRESHLY GRATED
NUTMEG, FOR GARNISH
In a large bowl with an electric
mixer, beat egg yolks with
sugar until the mixture is
thick and pale with ribbons
when the beaters are lifted.
In a second large bowl, beat
two thirds of the egg whites
until they hold soft peaks. In
a third large bowl beat the
cream until it holds soft peaks.
Fold the whites into the yolk
mixture until the mixture is
combined well and fold in the
whipped cream gently but
thoroughly.
Pour the combined mixture
into a large punch bowl,
whisk in the bourbon, rum,
vanilla, milk and salt. Chill the
eggnog, covered, for at least
four hours, or until it is cold.
Just before serving, beat the
remaining three egg whites
in a bowl until they hold soft
peaks, then fold them into the
eggnog.
Sprinkle the eggnog with the
nutmeg and the cinnamon.

beverage that your younger self
wasn't allowed to sample, even
if you volunteered to "help" stir
the pot or add the spirit; the tiny
silver spoon that the grown-ups
used to sprinkle nutmeg; that first
sip of spiked eggnog once you
came of age; the recipe that your
grandmother shared only after
swearing you to secrecy; and the
memories of celebrations past that
the rich flavors invoke.

If you've had a few years to
enjoy the drink, you've come
to know your preferences. Do
you like your eggnog spiked
or straight? With a bit of rum,
brandy or whiskey? Touched with
the taste of nutmeg, chocolate,
cinnamon, peppermint or
pumpkin? Made at home for that
added sense of self-satisfaction
or purchased pre-made for the
convenience?
