- Refrigerate the egg whites until ready to use.
- In the bowl with the egg yolks, whisk in 1 cup granulated sugar until pale and thick.
- Stir in 1/2 cup dark rum, 1/4 cup cognac (optional), 2 cups whole milk, and 1 cup heavy cream. Whisk until completely smooth and well combined.
- Cover the mixture and refrigerate for at least 8 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
- When ready to serve, gently whisk the chilled eggnog mixture.
- In a separate bowl, beat the refrigerated egg whites with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form.
- Gently fold the stiff egg whites into the chilled eggnog mixture using a spatula.
- Pour into a punch bowl or individual serving glasses.
- Sprinkle freshly grated nutmeg generously over the top before serving.
