Equipment

Ingredients

12 large egg yolks
2 cups granulated sugar
1 liter bourbon
4 cups whole milk
1 cup heavy cream
3/4 cup brandy
1/2 cup dark spiced rum
Pinch of kosher salt
Grated nutmeg

Instructions

In a large bowl add egg yolks and sugar.
Whisk until creamy and light yellow in color.
Whisk in bourbon, whole milk, heavy cream, brandy, dark rum, and kosher salt.
Add to a glass gallon container, cover tightly with a lid, and store in the fridge for 3 weeks to 3 years.
Separation is normal for this drink.
Shake the jar before drinking to bring the mix back together.
Also before serving I like to add a little grated nutmeg on top for added flavor.

Notes

If you do not have a bowl large enough to whisk everything together, I recommend whisking the eggs and sugar and whisking in the bourbon to thin it out. Pour into your gallon container, add the remaining ingredients, and stir to combine. You can also split the mixture between 2 1/2 gallon mason jars.
SEPARATION IS NORMAL - your eggnog will start to separate in the fridge. You need to give it a good shake before serving.
