How to Make Eggnog Tennessee Style

  1. Gently separate 6 large eggs, placing yolks in a large bowl and egg whites in a separate bowl.
  2. To the egg yolks, gradually add 1 ½ cups granulated sugar, whisking constantly until the mixture is pale, thick, and lemon-colored.
  3. Slowly pour in 1 cup of Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey, whisking vigorously after each addition.
  4. Add 1 cup dark rum, whisking to combine.
  5. Gently pour in 2 cups heavy cream, mixing well. Then, delicately fold in 2 cups whipped heavy cream.
  6. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until soft peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the eggnog mixture.
  7. Cover and refrigerate for at least 48 hours to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
  8. Before serving, stir gently. Pour into a punch bowl and sprinkle generously with freshly grated nutmeg.
