We've been perfecting this egnogg recipe since 2007 and it's been pretty stable since 2011 with only uprades to the alcohol quality and refinements of the preparation process since then.

- Beat the egg yolks with a mixer, slowly adding all the sugar. Beat until creamy and light yellow.
- Stir Alcohol, Milk, and Half of the Cream into the Egg Mixture
- In a separate bowl whip the other half of the whipping cream until lightly whipped. (Body but no peaks. We use our Bosh mixer with the whisps for 1 minute on speed 2.)
- Whisk whipped cream into egg/alcohol mixture. (NOTE: If you pour the milk right into the alcohol it WILL curdle)
- Add the Spices and Vanilla
- Refridgerate till ready to serve.
Often times we mix up the batch and do a taste test to see how it is. We might add whiskey or tequila for tha special back of the throat bite or cut with a little milk if it's coming on too strong. Mixing in sugar and/or vanilla can also impact the flavor.
One batch makes aprox 1.75 liters.
The aclohol is up to you but we've had best luck using the following. Our goal is for this to be a smooth drink that's warm going down. It can have a habbit of sneaking up on you.
- Whiskey - Evan Williams or Ezra Brooks (nothin special really, just a little more smooth than Jack Daniels I think)
- Vodka - Monopoolwa - Potato Vodka is super smooth and realy compliments.
- Tequila - Jose Quervo Silver
- Rum - Bacardi White
