How to Make George Washington's Eggnog I M Not Kidding

  1. Combine all liquors in a large bowl and stir well.
  2. Separate the yolks from the whites of 12 large eggs. Set the whites aside.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the egg yolks and 1 ½ cups granulated sugar until pale and thick.
  4. Gradually whisk the liquor mixture into the yolk and sugar mixture, a little at a time, ensuring everything is well combined.
  5. Add 2 cups heavy cream and 1 cup whole milk. Mix thoroughly until smooth.
  6. In a clean bowl, beat the egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gently fold the egg whites into the eggnog mixture.
  7. Strain the eggnog through a fine-mesh sieve to remove any lumps or egg bits.
  8. Refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or preferably 3-5 days, to allow the flavors to meld. The longer it sits, the better it tastes!
  9. Taste and adjust sweetness if needed before serving. Garnish as desired (e.g., nutmeg, cinnamon).
