It’s Nog time, ya’ll… My favorite signature item to serve at holiday gatherings.

3/4 cup sugar, divided

1 cup whole milk
Freshly ground nutmeg

DIRECTIONS: 

Separate egg whites and egg yolks into bowls. Beat the yolks with 1/2 cup of the sugar until light yellow. Add the Bourbon and rum.

In a separate bowl, beat the heavy cream until whipped. Beat the egg whites and add remaining sugar until stiff. Add the egg yolk mixture into the whites and fold in the whipped cream and whole milk.

Serve in pretty china cups with a sprinkle of nutmeg.
