It's made with dairy, often a mix of milk and heavy cream, and sweetened with sugar. Eggs give it a rich texture. There are eggnog recipes where the egg yolks are heated, and ones like this recipe where the yolks—and whites—are uncooked. Generally, the yolks are added along with the dairy, and the whites are whipped separately and folded into the eggnog for serving. Eggnog is often spiked with brandy, rum, whiskey, or bourbon—or all the above. Ground nutmeg is the finishing touch.\n\nThe egg yolks and whites in this recipe are not cooked. This dish should not be prepared for pregnant women, the elderly, young children, or anyone whose health is compromised.\n\n## Make Ahead\nThis eggnog is a two-day process, and is mostly made the day before serving. The egg yolks, sugar, milk, and cream are combined and the alcohol is added to allow the flavors to meld. Then, the egg whites are whipped and added just before serving.\n\nKeep Screen Awake\n\n## Ingredients\n- 6 large eggs, separated\n- ¾ cup superfine sugar\n- 2 cups whole milk\n- 3 cups heavy cream, plus more for garnish\n- ½ cup bourbon, preferably Maker's Mark\n- ¼ cup dark rum, preferably Mount Gay\n- ¼ cup Cognac, preferably Remy Martin Grand Cru\n- Freshly grated nutmeg, for sprinkling\n\n## Directions\n1. ### Beat yolks and add sugar:\n   Beat yolks in a very large bowl until thick and pale. Slowly beat in sugar.\n2. ### Add milk and cream:\n   Whisk in milk and 2 cups cream.\n3. ### Add alcohol:\n   Mix in bourbon, rum, and Cognac. Cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 day.\n4. ### Serve:\n   Just before serving, beat whites until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into eggnog. Whisk remaining 1 cup cream until stiff peaks form, and fold into eggnog. (Alternatively, you can fold half the whipped cream into eggnog, and top with remaining half.) Sprinkle with nutmeg.\n## How to Store Eggnog\nIf you have leftover eggnog, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Note that the flavor and texture of the eggnog are best on the first day.\n\n## Frequently Asked Questions\n- Why do you drink eggnog?\n  Eggnog is traditionally drunk around Christmas and New Year's Eve. A cup of the rich drink was thought to invite prosperity into your home, though today eggnog is more about good cheer and holiday indulgence. Eggnog is English and was brought to the U.S. by settlers, where it became more popular than in its homeland. The drink itself is thought to be derived from posset, a holiday drink enjoyed by monks that is also made of milk and eggs and laced with ale or wine rather than hard liquor.\n- Why does store-bought eggnog taste different?\n  Store-bought eggnog is a rich beverage, usually made without alcohol. To make it last longer on shelves, many brands include thickeners and stabilizers as well as colors and flavors, which makes it taste different than homemade.\n- Is eggnog served warm or cold?\n  Eggnog is usually served like a punch, at room temperature or chilled. It can also be heated gently and enjoyed as a warming drink.\n## 5 More Festive Drink Recipes to Try\n- [Hot Buttered Rum](https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/1523049\/spiced-hot-buttered-rum)\n- [Mulled White Wine](https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/870107\/mulled-white-wine)\n- [Cinnamon Sour Cocktail](https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/1534296\/cinnamon-sour-cocktail)\n- [Cranberry Mule](https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/1165550\/cranberry-mule)\n- [Candy Cane Cocktail](https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/318807\/candy-cane-cocktail)\n\nOriginally appeared: Martha Stewart Living, December 2008\n\nRate\n\nUpdated by\n\n[Victoria Spencer](https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/victoria-spencer-7106333)\n\n![Victoria Spencer, senior food editor, MarthaStewart.com]()\n\n![Victoria Spencer, senior food editor, MarthaStewart.com](https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/thmb\/98sA6Bxx9DC4off9TZa2RWqRfz0=\/200x200\/filters:no_upscale\\(\\):max_bytes\\(150000\\):strip_icc\\(\\)\/victoria-spencer-1163-d111425_sq-8c1752e021184fdc9ad700c80f8e81d2.jpg)\n\n[Victoria Spencer](https:\/\/www.marthastewart.com\/victoria-spencer-7106333)\n\nVictoria Spencer is an experienced food editor, writer, and recipe developer.

Eggnog tastes like a boozy custard. It's made with dairy, often a mix of milk and heavy cream, and sweetened with sugar. Eggs give it a rich texture. There are eggnog recipes where the egg yolks are heated, and ones like this recipe where the yolks—and whites—are uncooked. Generally, the yolks are added along with the dairy, and the whites are whipped separately and folded into the eggnog for serving. Eggnog is often spiked with brandy, rum, whiskey, or bourbon—or all the above. Ground nutmeg is the finishing touch. The egg yolks and whites in this recipe are not cooked. This dish should not be prepared for pregnant women, the elderly, young children, or anyone whose health is compromised. ## Make Ahead This eggnog is a two-day process, and is mostly made the day before serving. The egg yolks, sugar, milk, and cream are combined and the alcohol is added to allow the flavors to meld. Then, the egg whites are whipped and added just before serving. Keep Screen Awake ## Ingredients - 6 large eggs, separated - ¾ cup superfine sugar - 2 cups whole milk - 3 cups heavy cream, plus more for garnish - ½ cup bourbon, preferably Maker's Mark - ¼ cup dark rum, preferably Mount Gay - ¼ cup Cognac, preferably Remy Martin Grand Cru - Freshly grated nutmeg, for sprinkling ## Directions 1. ### Beat yolks and add sugar: Beat yolks in a very large bowl until thick and pale. Slowly beat in sugar. 2. ### Add milk and cream: Whisk in milk and 2 cups cream. 3. ### Add alcohol: Mix in bourbon, rum, and Cognac. Cover, and refrigerate for up to 1 day. 4. ### Serve: Just before serving, beat whites until stiff peaks form. Fold whites into eggnog. Whisk remaining 1 cup cream until stiff peaks form, and fold into eggnog. (Alternatively, you can fold half the whipped cream into eggnog, and top with remaining half.) Sprinkle with nutmeg. ## How to Store Eggnog If you have leftover eggnog, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Note that the flavor and texture of the eggnog are best on the first day. ## Frequently Asked Questions - Why do you drink eggnog? Eggnog is traditionally drunk around Christmas and New Year's Eve. A cup of the rich drink was thought to invite prosperity into your home, though today eggnog is more about good cheer and holiday indulgence. Eggnog is English and was brought to the U.S. by settlers, where it became more popular than in its homeland. The drink itself is thought to be derived from posset, a holiday drink enjoyed by monks that is also made of milk and eggs and laced with ale or wine rather than hard liquor. - Why does store-bought eggnog taste different? Store-bought eggnog is a rich beverage, usually made without alcohol. To make it last longer on shelves, many brands include thickeners and stabilizers as well as colors and flavors, which makes it taste different than homemade. - Is eggnog served warm or cold? Eggnog is usually served like a punch, at room temperature or chilled. It can also be heated gently and enjoyed as a warming drink. ## 5 More Festive Drink Recipes to Try - [Hot Buttered Rum](https://www.marthastewart.com/1523049/spiced-hot-buttered-rum) - [Mulled White Wine](https://www.marthastewart.com/870107/mulled-white-wine) - [Cinnamon Sour Cocktail](https://www.marthastewart.com/1534296/cinnamon-sour-cocktail) - [Cranberry Mule](https://www.marthastewart.com/1165550/cranberry-mule) - [Candy Cane Cocktail](https://www.marthastewart.com/318807/candy-cane-cocktail) Originally appeared: Martha Stewart Living, December 2008 Rate Updated by [Victoria Spencer](https://www.marthastewart.com/victoria-spencer-7106333) ![Victoria Spencer, senior food editor, MarthaStewart.com]() ![Victoria Spencer, senior food editor, MarthaStewart.com](https://www.marthastewart.com/thmb/98sA6Bxx9DC4off9TZa2RWqRfz0=/200x200/filters:no_upscale\(\):max_bytes\(150000\):strip_icc\(\)/victoria-spencer-1163-d111425_sq-8c1752e021184fdc9ad700c80f8e81d2.jpg) [Victoria Spencer](https://www.marthastewart.com/victoria-spencer-7106333) Victoria Spencer is an experienced food editor, writer, and recipe developer.
