How to Make Nashville Eggnog

  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together 6 large egg yolks with 1/2 cup of your favorite bourbon or whiskey until light and frothy.
  2. In a separate bowl, gently whisk together 2 cups heavy cream, 3/4 cup granulated sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until the sugar dissolves.
  3. Gradually pour the cream mixture into the egg yolk mixture, whisking constantly to combine. Add a pinch of ground nutmeg and a pinch of ground cloves.
  4. In a clean bowl, beat 6 large egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
  5. Gently fold the egg whites into the cream and egg yolk mixture in three additions, being careful not to deflate the egg whites.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for the best taste and texture!
  7. Garnish each serving with a sprinkle of freshly grated nutmeg and a whole clove before serving.
  8. Serve chilled in small mugs or glasses.
