Underground Egg Nog
It tastes a lot better than it sounds - I swear.
Sorry about no post yesterday, folks - I was a little swamped with my day job; I guess it’s the pre-holiday rush. Which is fine, because tonight I’m going to whip up a batch of my homemade Egg Nog. Since I always bring a bottle to a party, and keep one for when guests come by during the holidays, my recipe is for 30-40 servings. Just an obvious reminder - since these are raw eggs you’ll be working with, you should make sure to buy pasteurized eggs or egg substitutes.
Underground Egg Nog - Recipe:
- 12 Eggs - separated
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 tablespoon nutmeg
- 2 tablespoons ground cinnamon
- 1 quart heavy cream
- 1 quart milk
- 1 pint bourbon
- 1 cup dark rum or brandy
Beat the egg yolks with sugar until it dissolves. Add the cream, milk, cinnamon, nutmeg and liquor and stir. Beat the egg whites until they become fluffy, then add that in as well. Chill for several hours, then serve sprinked with nutmeg, or garnished with a cinnamon stick.

Love the pic.
But a foodborne illness is not so funny. Better than the liquid eggs, find the eggs that have been pasteurized in the shell. They make a much better tasting nog. And since we enjoy this only once a year, you want to make it the best way possible.

I just had ‘real’ eggnog for the first time a few weeks back and man, that stuff is potent!
I am generally not a huge fan of milky beverages, but when they get me drunk quickly I am.

Went to a holiday party and had a thick mess that was said to be egg nog - now Im a little scared of the homemade stuff but its my favorite drink ever. DAMN. Guess I’ll be hitting up McDonalds, Starbucks, and Coffee Bean to get my seasonal egg nog fix - but Imma give your recipe a try. I trust you. DJ
