“You take that whiskey and pooouuuur it on the ground.”  But don’t do what she says, cause good whiskey is real expensive anymore.  For this number, you’d best set aside your irrational fear of raw eggs, albumen and clogged arteries, I know you’ll thank me in the end.  This brew is especially recommended for those who think they do not like egg nog but have only had the grocery store variety.  While the good people at your dairies produce a fine and noggy brew, you won’t find any that finally bring the eggs and booze together in the way that god intended like this one.

First separate your eggs and beat the yolks until the albumen is well hidden.  Beat the whites now until your arms are sore and you have nice stiff peaks.  Add the sweet, sweet bourbon to the yolks and stir like mad.  Keep at it and now add the whites.  Whip the cream (you might want to think about investing in a good electric mixer one of these days) and add it to the mixture along with the cow’s milk.  Add nutmeg and let the fun begin.  Makes about 2 gallons.  Don’t worry, you’ll know what the defibrilator is for when the time comes.
